So I am out hunting Rancors this morning. I decide to use the Sonic Pulse on an Ancient - only because I was running out of traps at the moment. Said old fart Rancor was dueling a Maklok at the time. I toss a trap at Rancor - should get 2k xp like on the others I been throwing - "167 trap xp" Say what?? The Rancor is all stunned and stuff, what gives here? Maklok is also stunned, but I was not throwing the trap at him. Rats.
Seems as if our daunted Ranger traps, having an AOE for there affects, effect the lower of the animals in the area and that is what we derive the xp from.
I can hit Makloks all day with traps, it's boring. I drop them for the 10cpu I get for herbie, not for xp. I was tossing traps at the Rancor, not the Maklok, and instead I get lower XP as it is an AOE trap. That rather sucked. I went back to p darts and spurs and made up for it. Still was not happy about the lower xp on the AOE trap tho. And yes, I checked, I got one and onlyone XP message, even though both creatures were affected.

I don't think this is broken and I do remember it coming up before.
It may be something we want to push to have changed in the future - hotfix or revamp maybe? But I've never seen it as a big deal. Trapping seems to level up at a good pace alongside the tracking and wayfaring lines. Frontiering is the one I could wish for multiple xp hits. 
Now if the trap said it was AOE, but only actually affected the creature it hit and not the ones around it I would consider that a bug.

Ya asking to get xp for them all seems like a bit much... but the biggest one might be nice. Or the one that you targeted.

Why would that be too much? You get the xp from multiple targets taken down by AoE attacks with your weapon.

Exactly. Should be getting trap XP from all critters caught up in an AoE too.

With area poison in CM you get xp for all creatures affected, and the same amount. So our AoE traps should give xp for all creatures affected as well.

trapping xp doesnt come fast enough already though?
true i believe we *should* get it off all mobs - but they would no doubt reduce the trapping xp if they allowed that...
