Experience/Fatigue system

Can anyone provide me with a better explanation of how the Fatigue system works in regards to character advancement? So far what I've been reading has been quite confusing.

You are allowed so much xp per week per job.
As you level a certain job you will get less xp. With combat jobs you get xp for every successful hit and kill. Slowly you won't get xp every hit. Eventually you will only xp every other kill. Supposedly at some point you would get to the point where you would get no xp whatsoever.
Once you hit rank 14 in any particular class you may receive surplus EXP. Surplus EXP accumlates the more and more you use that particular class, switching classes and not using that class for hours will cause it to unaccumlate and there is also a server specific timer that will reset the fatigue levels too.
The surplus EXP will show up as bonus EXP when you get a kill. It's anything but, in reality it's the amount of penalty you are getting, since currently there is no way to spend that bonus EXP. The text on your EXP bar will also show as yellow.
Surplus EXP starts at about 10% and increases in increments of about 5% the longer you play that class nonstop. I've only had it up to 20% myself (on multiple classes), but I've heard various rumors of where it stops at, from 50% to 90% and even 100%. It's doubtful you'll ever get Surplus that high, so don't sweat it too much.
I believe your description is inaccurate.
I never reached 14 in open beta and experienced what I described in my previous post. In fact rank 9 was highest rank I achieved and I was only getting xp every other kill. I was also getting xp previously with every successful hit.
