Client Patch 1.4.1

Ok, so, several frends and I have been discussing, trying to determine how one possibly could exploite using a low level character in an instance.  And we are failing miserably.  Anything a group can do in an instance, can be done outside of an instance.  All the drops are level restricted, even the BOP ones; all the quests require a minimum level to aquire already; exp and coins are shared the same inside the instance and outside.  I just dont get it.  Don't misunderstand me, I dont see a point in bringing a lowbie into an instance, or grouping with a lowbie except to help them get their stuff done. 

It would almost make more sense to put a max level restriction, so that, for example, level 30+ cant walk newbies through Ragefire Cavern or Deadmines "bypassing content" by killing all the mobs the lowbie needs for the quests.

Am I missing something here?

I'd say "boss xp". The giant lvl 33 pig in RFK gives 1.8k xp to my level 33ish rogue where a normal level 33 gives a couple hundred tops. Exactly how you exploit this tactically, I could only speculate on. I'd imagine some combination of dotting and having a level 60 basically kill the thing and then drop out of the party could be effective to the point of getting to level 20 in a couple of hours.

<edit: I mention the pig only because that's the only boss I remembered exactly how much XP he gave off the top of my head. I'd expect there's a lot better boss xp drops out there.>
