    Had 1065.66 mil pool killed 2 breach bosses with pvp flag and open mode now have 1066.584 pool no skills set to raise killed TorcDawl xp added but pool not adjusted to accommodate the breach bosses xp earned. I even logged out and re-logged in have since had water boss add its correct xp but still not seeing the xp i earned before.
    This is a SERIOUS ISSUE please fix ASAP not happy my xp not being added properly, or at all in some cases.

    I have been left adding mathematical expressions and configuring formulas to try and follow my ebb and flow of xp from The Breach... i find it absolutely horrify to track and i run and hide in a corner upon uncompleted calculations. Why are they uncomplete; because the numbers do not add up!!! Sometimes the numbers compile a resemblance of accuracy and other times it leaves me wondering if the calculator is broken, most times in the end i just play the game and say oh well no one knows the truth anyhow... not the Devs not the Oracle

    I did have 5 skills set to raise coup de grace, whirling blades, skewer, leg sweep and banish undead but i am using bludgeon not polearms or blades and have not cast banish undead either so those skills should not have affected the pool.
    Watching for further non xp gains after locking them.

    Ok I now see what is happening the dog is killing the boss and i am mining in the distance my char is too far away from the kill to get the xp. This distance should be increased to any kill made by a pet anywhere in the scene and should earn xp regardless how far you are from the pet. When i am running through south boundless forest for the buff my dog leashes to me, if the dog does not leash and kills something then the xp should go to the pool and not be lost to the ether. Please increase the distance xp gets added to slightly more than the distance pet starts to leash or encompass the whole scene.

    Is that not the WAD rule that you only can partake in XP gathered if you are within distance?
    That is true for your share of party XP - none if you are too far away and it is and ought to be true for a tamed pet that you in that moment do not direct or supervise but that is acting on it's own.

    This is design intent.

    The distance is between the player and mob, not the pet.

    The player has options to leash the pet at different distances.

    If the player's intent is to use the pet in battle then the player should also be engaged, therefore the pet should not be set for a far distance.
