Dont ever recall them stating youd get exp and rewards with it. Again, this point was not a typical point brought up in most discussions regarding NG+. It almost always was about being able to replay parts of FFXIV, not be a tool for leveling. So as far as I know, they never hyped the feature as a means of leveling. They hyped it as "Hey, you can replay some of your favorite MSQ stuff," and left it at that. Anything beyond that is the playerbase hyping it.

Beyond this, I do wonder if people even consider the ramifications of adding exp to it? Far as I know, theyve never said it wont give exp (I could be mistaken), but if there was 0 consequence to having exp and everything going for it do it that way, the devs wouldve just added that aspect. But I suspect that why you dont get exp is that itd screw with other leveling aspects of the game to much.
