If I understand some comments by J.M. correctly, the level
spread at which you stop getting experience is actually based
on a fixed percentage of total experience (scaled to account
for certain race/classes needing more experience per level).
So the difference between level 5 and 9 is something like 80%,
but the difference between 20 and 27 is 35%.
I'm level 30, and a level 22 friend grouped with me was making
experience at about the same rate I was. Probably because
most of the stuff we were fighting that was blue to me was
yellow/red to him. So he was getting a smaller piece of the
total experience, but that total experience was huge compared
to what he would've gotten grouped with other 22s and fighting
what to them were blue.
