Game Mechanics Party XP [35 Unique Supporters, 94.3% Approval]

Yeah about this, right now unless you cannot solo an area, there is no point to form parties since partying with even one player means losing potentially 30-60% of your xp gain, even if you do the vast majority of the damage. Not to mention when there's a party of 10 people, the xp gain goes to absolute trash.

For a possible fix, I have a few possible solutions.

A) Damage Thresholds for XP
Give a certain % of the xp the mob normally gives as if you killed it yourself.
For example:
10% dmg - 25% XP
25% dmg - 40% XP
50% dmg - 75% XP
70% dmg - 85% XP
90% dmg - 100% XP

B) Increase Party XP Share value
Currently, the XP Share bonus of the party is not noticeable at all.
What if players get 20 % (or more if you're feeling generous) of the xp that other players gain without removing it from the player who grinded it.

Spoiler: Calculations

For example, there are 3 players
Mob- 1000 base xp
Player A -50% dmg, 300% XPB
Player B -30% dmg, 110% XPB
Player C - 20% dmg, 50% XPB
So Player A would get
1000*(50/100) * (1+(300%XPB/100)) =2000 XP
Player B
1000*(30/100) * (1+(110%XPB/100)) =630 XP
Player C
1000*(20/100) * (1+(50%XPB/100)) =300 XP
After Party XP
Player A
2000 + (630*.2) + (300*.2) = 2186
Player B
630 + (2000*.2) + (300*.2) = 1090
Player C
300 + (2000*.2) + (300*.2) = 760

Edit: @AmbassadorMax brought up the abusability of option B for leveling low level classes in high level zone, I think currently there already exists a penalty for getting xp from someone with a different level than you [i think like you lose 95% or more xp at 25-30 level gap]. For this, I would recommend a 80% xp cut could be done for a gap of 5-10 levels and no xp received if you are too far from that?

[Pretty sure wynn uses something like this, but has a way lower share % than the proposal]

C) Party XP Multiplier
When in a party, xp gained is multiplied by 1+ (0.05*Player Count) to reduce the burden of losing alot of xp being in a very large party
Requirements:
For a player to be counted for the xp multiplier, they have to have contributed in killing mobs (atleast 15% dmg) in the past 10s

Notes:
Make the XP gained from other players not able to be affected by tomes/charm/xpb so it doesnt accidentally stack both yours and another players buff which will be too overpowered. Classify it as something like quest xp

You are able to choose multiple choices for the poll (cant edit or votes get reset)

If I am understanding this correctly, C would probably be the best option. No Healer Mage left behind!
