I tend to think the XP should not be given to anyone not present (at the very least on the same level of Undermountain) or within a certain level range. While I have not been to the Undermountain in a while I do not think I would want to be able to level well into the 20's without leaving the Yawning Portal due to the timing of when I logged on. Granted the last time I played I welcomed the XP, but I think at this point I would pass.
While thinking of balancing has it ever been discussed to have level restrictions for items? There is very little balance when a newly created character is able to use a Greataxe or the Bow from the Drow Proving Grounds. These weapons are very powerful and when combined with some of the other gear you can "hand down" allows newly created characters to plow through many areas of the server with ease.
Anyway...just some random thoughts...
Peace, John.
