That's about as vague and without evidence of a statement as anyone can make. Fact is you can't exploit something that isn't cheatable. If a quest turn-in gives exp up to a certain level, then that's how it works. As far as I know, that's never been broken, and quest exp was never disabled in Classic EQ. Ever.

Fact Check: True

They are misusing the word exploit instead of just saying "something we don't like."

I know exactly the quests they are talking about. There is no exploit. They just wanted to preserve an artificial speed of Kunark progression: dev-imposed instead of player-driven. They say so themselves.

We are reducing exp by 50%... in order for our player base to experience the launch of Kunark closer to the intended pace.

We are decreasing spawn times by 50%... in order for our player base to experience the launch of Kunark closer to the intended pace.

Why not? We had our first 60 in under 10 days by exploiting their knowledge of the best mobs, the best zones, the best class combos, etc.

Isn't this what you think of when you hear the word "exploit"?
