Okay... I thought I was at least somewhat clued in on the idea that the harder the battle, the more XP I would get. Over the course of just shy of 12,000 victories, it has seemed pretty consistent that as my advantage over my opponent came closer to 0 (or even dipped ever so slightly under), XP would increase into the 60's or 70's. My biggest payout so far has been 80xp (I'm only lvl 387 atm) from a guy who, if I remember correctly, I only had a 0.27% advantage over (or something very close to that). However... I just hit a guy with a much bigger clan (he had 612, I have 362), and while I only had a 6.17% advantage over him, I only received 15 xp. This is usually what I'd see when my attack strength was somewhere in the neighborhood of 150% or more higher than my opponent. What the heck happened? Is this normal? Also, just an observation; I'm sure most of you already know this, but since I haven't seen any posts on the subject, I figured I'd mention that personal combat strength does seem to have a noticeable impact on fights. In this particular battle, I was weaker in every area except the personal side (personal attack strength, armed weapons, and attack boost). Granted, that 5% for the attack boost might make a lot of difference, but when I'm looking at the firepower he's bringing as compared to what I'm bringing, I'd have expected to be swamped.
