So before you cut out parts of my post to try to "Win" maybe understand that I'm talking about the context of how being AFK is an exploit? So even if he meant that was two separate things, and it was a "Carry" it was really petty to even complain about how people were getting XP quickly in a scenario designed for it - that has 0 impact on your gameplay unless you're fighting over the same mobs. Not to mention really, we're worried about people being AFK in the overworld now? If you're in that party, and don't like it, go and form another one.

The job change has been around way before Blue Mages were a thing. It is only NOW a "problem" because people were complaining so much to GMs and telling people they were gonna get banned that the devs HAD to address it to stop all the complaining in general. "Yes it's an exploit, and no we're not gonna punish players for using it" Basically putting two groups of kids in their respective corners to sit down and be quiet.

tl;dr Server tick has long been used in ways to exploit the game before people calling it the XP exploit. Which is ironic because the server tick is there to begin with to prevent certain types of cheating in the game.
Yes, they are 3 separate points in my statement. For whatever reason you're deciding to group them together and take the whole thing out of context. I never said being AFK was an exploit. If you're going to say "let's have well reasoned arguments please" at least have the reading comprehension to participate.

It does occur to me that the EXP exploit is not new, given it's nature it's likely been around as long as the game has been around. BLU just made it more visible to the community and devs. So, fair enough.
