RAF EXP, UnNerfed? sticky

[darkxer]

Hello all,
I've read many threads in here about RAF experience.
Also that everyone is Boosting via an unlinked account.

Well, i have 5 accounts linked starting Nov 10th 2008 a> b> c> d> e>
And the Booster level 58DK is on the A> account.

I still get RAF Experience on b> c> d> e>


Whats the official word on this?
Thanks.

P.S.
I love mboxing,
it's nice being able to solo instances.
PVE content now holds interest to me where previously the waiting and grouping made it undesirable.
May mboxing last 4ever.

Update:

I've noticed a few more posts explaining the RAF xp bonus.
What appears to have been nerfed in RAF xp bonus is the bonus between a character of much lower or higher level.

Account A = 10 levels higher than Account B, neither account will receive RAF bonus due to the new level restrictions?
Previously, a level 70 boosting a level 10, both would receive RAF bonus?
Is this correct?

"Soon".

Let's say we have Account A with a level 70 character, Account B with a level 1 character and Account C with another level 1 character, all three characters are grouped. Account B and Account C are linked, will they receive triple experience?

A: Bonus experience should only be granted if the experience is not trivial to anyone in the group. Our Quality Assurance Team is looking into reports that some of these restrictions are not consistent and hope to resolve the issue soon.

Ah ha!

I'm glad I asked,
So I should be xfering my Booster to a NON linked account before blizzard fixes this bug.

Thanks for the official link and highlighted text.
Booster in same group, giving RAF is not working as intended and will be patched soon.

No probs.

They de-stickied that FAQ so it's not really that visible anymore... :/

"Bonus experience should only be granted if the experience is not trivial to anyone in the group."

Well that was phrased badly. What are they going for, do you think - "should only be granted / everyone in the group" or "should be granted / anyone in the group"? Because the sentence as phrased is crap.

If the experience is not trivial to ANYONE in the group, bonus experience should be granted TO THOSE WHO QUALIFY. (i.e. those who are otherwise RAF linked and eligible)

This means, if you're grouped with someone of significantly higher level than the encounter -- EVEN IF THEY ARE NOT RAF'ed TO YOU -- you should not get your RAF bonus XP.

Oh wow, that sucks hardcore.

i totally understood the sentence.

but i havent seen it happen as stated. my friend just ran me through ZF last night... no experience for her (trivial), 3x exp for my two chars.

That's why it's stated as "soon" for a fix.

And anyone who's familiar with Blizz's "soon" isn't surprised that they STILL haven't fixed it yet.
