Co-op, level difference, penalty?

Hey guys. During my time with POE , i have mostly played solo, but recently some good buddies have started playing, and im curious, if im higher level , and partied with them , is there some kinda penalty, leeching, diminish state, any/all of the above, for doing so ?

EG : im 85, friend is 55.

Partying bears no penalties by itself.

However, they won't be able to run high level areas and you do get penalties to experience and currency drop rate if level difference between enemies and you is too high.

All good , just want to make sure *they wont get any penalties. Ty.

power leveling does not work. If you are much higher level than your marty member, you get most xp. quote from wiki explains it further:

"

The multiplier for experience while in a party is a player's "share", evaluated by (Level+10)^2.71, divided by the total of all players "shares".

Thats what i was lookin for. I thought something was up. Much faster in other games we have had.

Its kinda funny really, why bother with penalties like this, i mean, once you obtain high enough level , are you really able to power level the rest of em out... haha , right. Power level your way through 98,657,865 maps , uh huh.

Anyways , thanks man.
