'Fair' doesn't only mean 'unbaised' - it also means 'just'. In other words, players should get what they deserve. If you've taken an action that earns you a number of XP, you should get that number of XP.
I notice nobody is saying that throwing away some of a player's earned experience is the right thing to do - the objections have to do only with the size of the problem and how much effort it would take to fix. Now, I may be a minority here, but to me game mechanics are important - far more important than cosmetic issues such as the graphical quality of the game. Ryzom is a very pretty game - the devs have obviously put a great deal of effort into making it look nice. I'm asking that they put a fraction of that effort into making its mechanics work properly.
