People can still let you AFK if they want but they could do that pre-patch also so there's nothing new to talk about here in that regard.
Yes but post-patch it only takes a day of non-stop leveling to go from 40-50 or so. The EXP is just that high right now. Also, you say it stops at 40, but that's only 10 levels from cap. You literally have just gotten rid of the entire middle-process and just jumped straight to the final stretch.

The achievement is for climbing ENTIRE mountain, not for taking a chopper to the top and climbing the last 100 feet.
