Only a few days ago, I (33 bard) grouped with a L50 Mage and got xp - we
camped the WK Ogres and the Chief, the Sha's, the doggy (I think he was
still blue) gave me the "you gained party experience" message. Granted,
this is not bub moving experience but he was there to get some loots for his
guildies and I was there to chat with him. And nobody else was around. If a
treeant falls in the woods when nobody is there to hear it, it that called
farming?

So, your theory is prolly sound but the upper end delta is not 16. And
there is another factor involved and that is the con of the mob. Grouped
with a L50 Mage and L48 Necro, we killed Zazamoukh - the named sphinx in
Rathe Mts. In this group, I did not get the exp message - because the mob
was above the anti-xp twink cap (ie too high for me to get any xp from.)
Mobs can be too low for xp and they can be too high for xp as well. We see
this if we have a young ranger or sha with us when we take on HG's. The mob
is just too red to get xp - not the level spread in the party is too great.

A level 31 friend reported getting experience grouped with a
45, but not a 46. My guess is it caps out at a 16 level
delta. That is, a level 35 player grouped with a level 50
would get exp, but a level 34 would not. At the low end, a
level 1 player will not get experience with a level 5 (4
level
delta). Everything else in the middle is a gradual scale
between these two deltas.
