Why am I receiving ZERO XP from kills??

Vierthdan
Ive been playing the past 5 hours or so.. Just hit level 15, and I realized suddenly that I was getting NO experience from any kill whatsoever. I generally explore, quest, gather resources and the like... But why is this happening? I still get XP from quests, crafting and the like, But NOTHING from kills during said quests or from general monsters/enemies... Why is this happening? It is annoying to say the least.. :\

Also, to clarify, Even facing mobs HIGHER LEVEL THAN ME are giving me nothing..


Thank you everyone for you're assistance.. In the process of trying what you all told me the problem seems to have fixed itself somehow. Thank you again!!! :3

    Did you outlevel the mobs? Have you tried m9bs your level?

    If your in a lower level area... that's about it... trash mods give little XP

    What level are you and the mobs your killing if the mobs are -5 +7 levels than you then you get no XP.

    If they are in that range then it is probably a bug.

    NOPE... Even mobs 3-4 levels higher than me are giving me absolutely ZERO EXPERIENCE.

    No need to get sassy... I am sorry though.. It's just very confusing and annoying.. And I wish I knew what I was doing wrong/how to fix whatever bug this is..

    Turn off all addons temporarily? Relog for 15 ~ 20 min supposedly also clears out instance or cache of your char.

    Make sure to contact live support if nothing resolves. Could be data corruption or back end error upon kill.

    Don't make me snap my fingers and go "nnmmmmHmmm"..

    I don't think it's a bug, you just really don't get XP from killing mobs.
    discovery, chests, quests & dungeons are where the XP is at.

    Beat me to it, @Kangas‌!

    @Vierthdan, please try completing a small quest as well, and see if you will receive XP from that.
