Anything considered not to be working by the devs and used by players to otherwise gain an advantage is an exploit. Any Dev will tell its an exploit poor design or not. You are gaining more exp than the fate was intended to give and there for players are gaining and advantage not intended by the devs aka an exploit. I think people seem to think only bugging something for an advantage now days is an exploit.

Someone said earlier in the thread people need to understand what an exploit is. 100% agree with that guy.
