I agree with you, normal exp party is teaching you absolutely nothing about how to play your job, since you are playing within the safety net. The only way you learn your job is by fighting a lot of endgame mobs where you need to really know your job or face dying and wipe. It's great now that everyone can reach lvl 90 in a matter of days, so that you can dedicate the rest of your playing time to start doing endgame and collecting your gears. Bad players will not learn their jobs as fast as good players, and this game is reputation based so you can't get away by not knowing how to play your job correctly. All SE did was making the game more accessible to all, and lessen the time sink considerably.
