OK. Remember:

Take the amount you gain for any opponent.
Divide that by what you need for the next level.

The result will be a decimal under 1.00. This is the percentage of XP you have just earned to the next level.

Now start comparing your results from other players. You will notice something simple.

ya, Matts right.

dude, if you look at it mathematically, it makes perfect sense. You need to STOP looking at the experience gains as absolute numbers. That is where you are going wrong. Think percentages. That way your "lower level does indeed get "MORE" for hitting someone 2 levels below, than the higher level does for hitting someone 5 levels below.

IF the game didnt convert percentages into large numbers everyone would be gaining experience by the thousandths of a point, and i have a feeling people would like that even less.

Also wile im at it, keep in mind, randomness will appear more blatant as numbers get larger.... that doesnt mean the effect is any more pronounced
