More unintentional XP

I got 1002 XP today because of my mining technique...

Often, I'll mine nodes near Allerian Stronghold by releasing a combat pet (battle chicken or mithril dragonling) and mining while my pet keeps the mob busy. Since my pets are so much weaker than the mobs, I don't have to worry about accidentally killing a mob this way - my pet always dies, but not until after I've been able to grab some ore.

But today, a 66 gnome warrior was also mining in the area, and he killed the wolf that my dead chicken had kept occupied (and tagged), so I got 1002 XP...
