City of Heroes did a great job of this. It worked both ways. A L50 player could take a L20 player as their "sidekick" and temporary boost them to L49. A L20 player could rever-sidekick as L50 player to L20.
If you were the L20 player in situation #1, you'd still get XP, but it would be equivalent to what you would have gotten at L20 for killing a mob in your level range.
If you were L50 (max level) since you can't get XP you'd get influence, which is the game's currency.
It was a great way to encourage people to play with different level ranges.
I think WoW could implement at least the sidekick option. Reverse-sidekick would be harder, as currency in WoW was useless, but in WoW it's not. Maybe it can be something like increased rep gain.
