Shared xp would be better than now. Just reward for %dmg done to critter. Current system is more abusable, i.e. A guy with mini and lvl 21 and lvl1 guy with 10mm pistol go for centaurs, lvl 21 guy does 99% dmg leaving the last shot for lvl 1 guy. Lvl 1 gets 800-1k xp ABOOOOOOSE
exactly, the only XP abuse now is stealing kills from, say, BOS in BOS vs remnants encounters; not doing any damage yourself but then poaching the last shot and getting ALL the XP.
that' abuse.
So how would this system in any way make the game too easy?
players training together who say take down a deathclaw share the 1k xp. no one gets it all, instead it gets dispersed among them depending on damage vs. Hp ratio, forcign each player to work for his share.
If you poach a kill off of BOS or whoever, you only get what you deserve. how is this not fair and less exploitable than current system?
not to mention you each bullet you fire (that doesn't miss) will count towards your XP assuming you stick around to finish the fight.
more economical too!
