I don't like hard limits. I prefer disincentives. Make it so
killing too many green mobs in a short period of time made you
start to *lose* experience (it's too easy, and you're letting
your skills slide). :)

Of course, to get this to work, they'd have to balance the
melee classes so they didn't die to green mobs...
