Answer to Natharias, will not quote that poem, I think I played many games, cant count, all finished with end game chars (maxlvl) so I can say this penalty without true end-game content is nonsense, my all time best games are still Asheron's Call (first release that from 1999) and Neverwinter Nights who play them knows about what I talk.
I just will say, u are pretty bad player if u died from Dominus on normal 15 times in row and in best case u deserve future penalty of one week not 75mins.
Don't want to go in detailsof your game play but rlly my 10% I can't get like you with that low lvl char, my 10% is if you read well 5x lvl78 map, and they are rare and expensive, also everyone who runs that maps knows about what I talk. And I cant get my XP back for free runing highest level of free map in game (67 or is 68) because I dont think I get any XP there.
I will only c/p what I add on my last post as example
I was thinking to show XP parody ... but after I finish Shrine I notice I failed with screenshots. LoL
So story goes I was at begining of my nice long loved level (again died from God's Chosen (Dominus) today, love that desync) so for that demonstration I run two pretty nice maps:
1. Temple (LVL71) with dual boss + temp chain + ...
2. Shrine (LVL77) with dual boss + vuln + fast cast/attack/speed +...
So after all I gain again nice 2% mostly from that second map because after first I was still <1

My intention was in first place to show parody of XP on LVL71 map what can be pretty deadly, dual piety with temp chain ... XP gain is there soo terrible but will do some other day because I am now tired and want to go in bed.
PS. I had few hard desync problem on shrine but succeed keep my life and get one Palace dropped again to get tomorrow where I was today (desync= 0%).
Need to add great thanks to GGG for not making future content for high lvl and not doing anything with desync problem (also please nerf more bosses in the way like u do with Shock and Horror, awesome job) so after lvl90 is a bit easier with actual 10% xp penalty and regain 2% from clearing highest rare dropped map, more time for gardening after all.
Probably is simpler (less brain/time consuming) to make another few month league with minor changes then make true enjoyable endgame content.
