Why Has The Experience Output Of Mobs Been Lowered?

This question is mainly addressed to the content team and Staff, who I figure would actually know the answer, but you're all welcome to answer if you know or think you know.

As of the Gavel expansion, the experience given out by Mobs has been lowered substantially. For instance, the level 70 trainers of ToL used to give ~1000 exp per kill, but now only give ~200 exp. And even in the 90s, mobs still only give around 500-600 exp per kill.

Especially considering the fact that there's no quests after level 90, why would you lower Exp amounts and make grinding more of a pain? Previously, I believe Grian has said that he wanted to make grinding easier and/or less needed, but with the lowering of exp outputs, the opposite has happened.

Why?

 

They have definitely made gavel completely quest oriented, But they have gone too far making grinding completely redundant. As it stands they shouldnt even bother having mobs outside of quests zones because they serve little purpose . #Bringbackgrinding
Edit: Also they will be adding more quests in another update including 90+ quests

 

They nerfed quest xp too.

 

RIP Purple And Blue + Marauder's Dues

Before, these two quests with TRIPLE XP can boost you from 77 to 88 in an hour.

 

I haven't noticed that, what do you mean?

 

I don't want to talk about it ;-;

 

IMO level 80+ mobs should give like 1000-2000 xp, and level 90+ mobs should give like 3000-5000 xp....

 

Dues use to give 1.28 mil exp now it only give 485 k exp
