The problem lies in how the time is determined, and in the wide difference between how long it takes to fully do a quest versus how long it takes to click past it.

In order to avoid all the efficiency maxers spamming this, you have to look at how fast it can be spammed while skipping all cutscenes and clicking as fast as you can past dialog. That's the speed, clicking through quests in seconds, that you have to make sure is still only mediocre XP/minute.

But if XP rewards are that low, then the people wanting to do the quests for real while leveling another job in the process aren't going to be getting enough XP to be useful to them. Those people aren't going to want to spam the quests a few dozen times over before they see any meaningful leveling progress.

XP isn't going to be enough to be useful unless it's way way above the threshold that would be widely exploited. Keeping it below that threshold leaves little point in going through all the effort of tuning XP rewards that aren't going to be useful anyway.
