It's a bug. It has to do with a misappropriation of damage or something
when a pet is involved with a group. I've seen it happen many times, for
example a group is holding the stone spider room in solusek B when a
ranger shows up to await a fire giant run. The group has a necro in it
with a pet, and on multiple occasions the single ranger gets the
experience instead of the group of six.

I don't claim to know how credit toward the kill works, but I've seen this
occur enough times to surmise the cause.
