Having seen the glitch in action, I have to reverse my position earlier in this thread.
While the boss is being killed with legitimate skills, there is no way this is somehow a natural thing they had planned on purpose. F/P is usually considered the least desirable mage class, but people have made F/Ps for the sole reason of exploiting this situation. And I mean, I know people love hermits, but this is a bit much. This is like the OPQ glitch on steroids.
A boss that yields this much XP in so little time breaks the game. If they don't patch it, it will completely unbalance the game, and if they patch it and leave ranks as is, the top ranks in the newer servers will be completely filled with glitchers. On Yellonde, my guild master is a lvl 77 i/l, and she reports having trained for roughly 18-20 hours a day for the past week of 2x/4x xp. This should tell you something about the people on that server that are like lvl 123 after that same week. Lvl 123 after a week of legit leveling is most likely NOT be possible, even if 4x is put into the equation. How, then, can people take lvl 123 after one week and justify it as somehow "legitimate?" This is a MMORPG, not a console game with Game Shark plugged in.
