POTD is becoming...silly (don't want to be too harsh)

Admittedly, I've also gotten into the habit of avoiding all fights except those necessary to activate the cairn or get to chests. So once the map is clear of chests and the cairn activated, I park myself on it, tab out and let the others do whatever they want until I hear the transmission sound - The drop rate of chests, let alone useful items from the chests, is too low to justify killing mobs over it even with fortune up IMO and you get more than enough experience just clearing for chests.

It seems that they do not understand that aetherpool level is what lets you progress and not just exp which really who cares it's only temporary anyway.

To be fair - when PotD came out, a great many rumors started, one of which being that the chance at increasing aetherpool level was dependent on your PotD level, rather than floor. The most common theory was:"You can't increase aetherpool beyond your current PotD level divided by 2". The myth was debunked, several times, but it might still linger.

Even now, there's still the common myth that the XP you gain on non-60 classes at the end of the floor set is a fraction of the XP you gained inside - which is false as well, it's a set amount based on your current level and the floor set itself (Armory bonus applies, other boni do not).

There's a further myth that clearing a floor entirely will increase spawn rate of silver chests in subsequent floors, which I wager is false as well, but it's harder to disprove than the other two.

I'm not blaming people if they want to kill everything or fall for one of those theories, but...I don't feel like participating myself.
