I'm sorta confused about Mercenaries and how they affect ranking. If I'm by myself, I can kill X Mob and get 140-150 xp. When I'm with a Merc, and I land the final blow, I'll get between 70-80 exp. And when the Merc gets the final blow, I'll end up with around 200+ exp. Why would the merc give me more exp when it lands the killing blow instead of me. And why does having a merc in your group affect the exp gains so much? Is it possible to have mercs just not factor into the exp? With low counts, sometimes having a merc is the only way to get extra damage to continue ranking.
