No XP When Sidekicked

I ran into this bug last night on Champion. I meant to /bug it before I logged but completely forgot to so I thought I'd mention it here.

I was on my 23 Emp/Psi Def last night and decided to team up with some friends of mine all of whom are in the 30-32 range. I was sk'd up with a lvl 30 Dark/Shield Scrapper giving me a lvl 29 combat level. We were running missions in Croatoa, the mobs were looking purple and red to me coming in around lvl 32 range. I was having fun not really paying attention for a couple of hours when I realzed I was not gaining any XP except the mission complete XP in the combat log. Two members of the team had already levelled. I un'sk'd a couple of time and re-sk'd to the same mentor and still received no XP. Once my mentor lvl'd though and hit 31 I started to get XP again and eventually myself lvl'd to 24. Unfortunately I didn't notice this until late in the mission runs and didn't try sk'ing to one of the other members to see if it was just between the original mentor or. Any one else seen this or heard of it?

What level was the rest of the team?

It sounds to me, that one of the team-members was level 35, and as you can't have more than 5 levels in between, you didn't get xp till your mentor hit level 31, and your combat-level got to 30.

The foes conning red to you isn't as important as the levels of the rest of the team members. For example: You could be fighting blues and greens not sidekicked.. and still get no xp if there was a lvl 50 on the team.

Now that you say that is makes total sense. Thinking back on it the team was comprised of me at 23, a 30 I sk'd up to, a 31, and a 34. We were running the 31's missions as they were the same as my 30 mentors so they got them completed together. The 34 dinged early in the first mission or so which would have made him 35 as you mentioned and my mentor didn't ding until later in the night when I noticed the XP. So even though we weren't running the 35s missions his lvl affected my XP generation? Mystery solved I guess. Thanks. I totally need to pay more attention to stuff like lvls and XP generation instead of just having fun.

I don' think that's neccesary
