If part of an engine was working out of sync with the rest then we would say it needed tuning.

Kaiba, yes the formula for calculating XP does work.. its math it will give you a set number within the parameters given to it... just like in most other cases, whats being argued however is that the parameters of said XP mechanic is deeply flawed.
This is not something we have been so fast and loose with, as has been pointed out by several people. This phenomenon has been observed for several rounds, has it not?
The fact that the parameters of the XP function is sooooo very limited and sooooo permanent is what makes it broken. Its not the calculation itself.. the calculation are a quick fix.. find a balancing point and lower the values or even change how the calculation work.. it will still put out a number at the end for its specific purpose.
