Is there a cap on how much XP can be earned from a single monster?

Killing the Trolls outside of Droknar's Forge on Hard Mode with a Double XP scroll active gives 600 xp points per kill. With a Triple XP scroll active, its only at 700. Is this intentional?

I get 690 something soloing in doa in normal with the 'free' xp scrolls from the battle commendations. Presumably hard mode is slightly more, but I wouldnt expect a LOT more without like rampage scrolls.

maybe I didn't explain myself clearly enough in the first post . .. I'll post with pictures and another explanation.

With no XP scrolls active, each troll gives 300 XP.

With a double XP scroll active, each troll gives 600 XP.

With a triple XP scroll active, each troll gives 700 XP.

With no xp scrolls, each troll should give 200 base xp *50% xp bonus from hard mode equaling 300 XP. With no scrolls, this is accurate.

With double xp scrolls, each troll should give 200 base xp *200% +50% which equals 600 xp. This is correct as well. The 200% is calculated first, then +50% of 400 is added to get 600.

With triple xp scrolls, each troll should give 200 base xp *300% +50% of the bas which should equal 900 xp. Same as the double xp scrolls, the 300% should be calculated first, then the +50% of 600 is added to get 900 xp. Instead 700 xp is awarded.

Don't know if this helps but there could be an error in the way the exp is calcualted.

If the bonus of 50% is fixed at 100exp(50%of200) and the triple ex is pre bonus,
that would make the total exp to be 700 [(200*3)+100]

However that would mean that with double exp scrolls exp obtained should be 500.

I believe its not really an exp cap but perhaps an error in exp scripts for the scrolls.. have you tried with a different double exp scroll or a different triple exp scroll? maybe the error is only limited to one of these scrolls?
