Why take it away? Not all people like the follow the storyline.
In AE, you still have "the farmers" and those who want to get to 50 the fast & furious way. I say so what? It's their choice!
I have been on fantastic teams and on horrible ones. It's always my choice to stay or to leave. If the team is absolutely horrible, then I politely quit (i.e. don't just click on the leave team button).
As a FYI, I have been consistently active since the beta days and I haven't explored all of the game's offerings. For example, although I have dabbled (and had fun) in PvP zones, I do not play in the market or work on enhanced builds. No big deal for me... but I have a lot of fun and I do help others.
So remember that this game is not monolithic... there is a vast cross section of interests and the devs are certainly trying to satisfy all categories of players. If you encounter a horrible AE team, then nothing forces you to stay. After all, it's just a game ;-)

If it's someone elses team leave.
If it's your team turn down the diff.

You do realize there was already this exact type of player long before AE was even considered to be added? And, they lived in PI, to boot! Removing XP, or even all of AE, won't make this type of player not exist. I ran into this kind more often before AE than after... anecdotes are not evidence.

Then you will find out who\ss really using AE for story telling and who isnt. Maybe increase ticket count or something. Thank you for taking the time to read this.

and why discriminate against this "type of player" so he didn't get to 50 doing missions, doesn't know where the train is or who maria jenkins is...
who cares... he pays his 15 a month just like you (or 14 or 13). I did an stf with a 5 year vet tank who didn't have taunt and died so much the controller had to take Recluse's agro (and he did it well)..being a pver does not make you good at pve...

The same thing happened before AE even existed.
What's your point?

I don't PL and I don't farm AE missions. But, if you take away the XP in AE, I'd use it even less than I do now.
When I use AE, I play arcs for the stories. I look for arcs by people I know. I look for arcs that I have heard good things about. If they took away the XP, I simply wouldn't bother.
Am I being perfectly clear? I play AE for the stories and if the arcs gave zero XP, I would not be playing them. Maybe I'm weird, but I like to feel that I'm making some kind of progress while playing. It can be XP, prestige, merits, but I need something.

Also, with regards to the OP, I've come across players with a lot more Vet badges than I have that are just as clueless as an AE baby. Plus, it's also possible that a kid was playing on Dad's/Mom's/Bro's/Sis' account.
