In the end it turns out my XP bar works perfectly fine, it's just that the roommate was level 90.

So now I suppose I should get it to check for level and if layer is capped turn it off. (not sure how to do this, but a quick API search should prove fruitful)

EDIT:
maybe something like

if playerMaxXP = UnitXPMax("player") then
  return 
else
  --XP bar code here
end

not sure if that's correct

Maybe I can finally get around to adding rep support I've never really been concerned with.
