Dungeon Scaling and XP gains

Cazic

There's a bit of discussion going on about this in the VP vs XP thread here, but I wanted to expand on that to try and wrap my head around this.

Situation:

- Group of 3 - we are VR1, VR2 and VR3 characters (all within 5 levels of each other)
- VR2 player is leader, so dungeon is scaled to VR2
- Leader had dungeon set to Normal, not Veteran
- Dungeon in question is Direfrost Keep which for the EP alliance is normally level 40ish (Not sure on the level right now, but either way it's not originally a VR zone dungeon)
- The mobs are scaled to VR2, despite our dungeon mode being set to Normal
- I am VR 3 and gaining 70 XP per mob kill
- Outside, I am gaining 645 XP for killing a VR1 mob

Questions and concerns:

- The amount of XP gained for a VR2 mob within a scaled dungeon seems too low, considering the XP gain from a VR1 mob outside
- Were the mobs truly scaled to VR2 since the dungeon was set to Normal mode?
- Would setting it to Veteran mode have changed the XP gain?
- Is there a deeper overall issue going on where in fact mob level/difficulty is being scaled in dungeons, but XP gain is not?

I'm going to play around and test things out a bit more later. In the meantime, any thoughts or input on this would be appreciated!

Thanks.

This could be related to the XP issues they've been having since the patch, but I also seem to recall XP gains from kills being reduced in group dungeons. Someone can correct me if I'm wrong, but I could swear this is how it worked pre-patch.
