I can't imagine it was a very new one, since that is a system that would directly punish anything like a support class for actually doing their job.

I am thinking there was also some "wonky" conversion of points healed to damage dealt as well. Oh well, main thing is the OP needs to "move on" and not feel bad about it.

I'd be honored if someone did that with my scrapper,

Some scrappers get the stupid idea into their heads that any enemy that THEY target is THEIRS. They don't want any interference that might potentially weaken the enemy and take away from their glory...Unless they die. Then it's all the stupid kin's fault for not doing his/her job. If you think he was bad because you targeted through him for a HEAL, imagine what he would have done if you'd attacked his target? :P|

Anyone who cops that kind of attitude when I'm on my Kin finds itself suddenly without speed boost. Heck, I even avoid healing them at all if I can. If they want to be rude, then they don't get my buffs.
Too many alts to list.

Anyone is welcome to target through my scrappers. I would recommend to not Target Assist with debuff anchors though  . There's a game a defender buddy and mine played. Things were going well if I killed the target before the snipe went off. |

I think the scrapper was under the incorrect assumption that the kin by attacking through him was kill stealing, and collecting rewards that weren't due him/her. Like he was doing 90% of the damage then you were coming in with the last 10% and stealing his kill and taking his rewards. |

I know it sounds stupid, but you'd be suprised how people think this game works. They must not believe in randomness.
I actually believe the OP should have just told that scrapper he was better off soloing. Then he could get all the drops.

What I guess is that the scrapper was annoyed by all the effects consistently happening in his proximity. And he probably thought that you were just following him around spamming your powers. I think the whole issue is not really too big a deal. The scrapper is probably not quite familiar with how kinetics works. Sometimes, the gameplay of CoH is a little repetitive and a person might be mistaken of being a leech.
Hmmm. I generally play a rad defender so my debuffs don't leech per-se. My biggest problem is grumbling at newbie scrappers and blasters who immediately streak toward any glowing mob. I'm not clear why it takes so long to explain the importance of leaving the anchors.

Dr. Todt's theme.
i make stuff...
I agree with everyone and say that scrapper was just being a dork.
Perhaps he came from another game where XPs were tallied differently.
I cannot for the life of me remember which MMO does this, but in order to counter "power-leveling" there was/is a game I have played where half of the XPs are evenly dividing amongst team/group members and the remaining half is apportioned by the amount of damage dealt by each individual team member. Since I have played a "dozen" MMOs in the last 10 years, I have no clue which one this was.
