Why should you get a bonus for not even playing the game? That is my problem with the whole thing, just give us an exp ring that can be only charged once a month..... gosh

Why do you even think we're getting a bonus for not playing the game? This could well be accumulated bonus time under a guardian's aspect /exp band-like effect which is proportionate to the amount of time you haven't played. Nothing about the announcement says anyone's going to log in and suddenly get a notification that they've got 5k exp out of nowhere.

Never said get 5k exp out of nowhere. Either way that's not the point, it says when logging out you get a exp bonus deal when logging out of your house. SOOO that means, when you are offline you get a bonus when you log back in. It's probably dependent on how long you have been logged out for. Either way, there should be no rewards for people not playing the game....

It totally doesn't mean that at all. It could apply to what I mentioned, but you're only applicable to start "storing" the bonus if you logout/exit the game inside your house. I really think you're making a massive kneejerk reaction over what you don't know, and what could possibly be nothing.

Here is a pretty decent explanation for the resting system, taken from a Wiki Page for that other MMO:

Rest is a device that allows more casual gamers to stay somewhat on par with other players, as to character level. It's also a clever device to encourage less-active players to keep their accounts, making players want to come back and play some more after some time away from the game. Rest also adds more value to the subscription fee. In light of the controversy of game addiction, rest also gives players reason to cease play. Blizzard has also stated that World of Warcraft play should be taken in moderation according to loading screen tips.
