You could argue that powerlevelling does affect others as the developers seek to close the all the loopholes. If they decide to cut XP or get rid of Sidekicking altogether in an effort to finally stamp out all the exploits, I'll be there to say I told you so.

This isn't a single-player console game. Nothing you do happens in a vacuum.

IMO, it is. But that's just my opinion and I'm sure there are people out there who could care less what my opinion is. I'm more concerned about what the developer opinions are. When they designed this great game, did they have sweeping visions of people standing around train stations dinging and skipping content? There is a change is the Test Server right now about Demon Spawn XP. Stateman explained how he wanted to reward heroic behavior. Is standing around a train station while someone goes and powerlevels you considered heroic behavior ? Because it certainly seems as if the developers are rewarding that.

It's common courtesy even if it doesn't break anything. Unless I'm given the okay by the mission owner, I always keep my hands off the goodies. If I find any, a simple tell in team will get them to my location ASAP and hardly takes any time at all.
