Making new run and saw this too... Just thought that those mobs are so easy that you don't deserve anything, still feels wrong 100 exp would be fine.
I don't mind if this is 'Working as Intended', but it currently feels like a bug. So I'm avoiding those parts of the game until we get an official answer.
I'm doing "for honor" and min / maxing every exp. possible. Such changes insult me as a player, that's just wrong.
On my first run those 2x Violate Voidling; 4x Vicious Voidling at Driftwood Dunes gave some exp. for sure.
