I don't belive Exemplar is that bad, it has its purpose. It isn't there to get experiance, it is to hang out woth a friends lower chaarcter (and allow them tos till get xp) You get some debt paied off. If you don't have debt and don't need Influence, then don't exemplar.
I think it is a good way to hang out with your friends who just started the game. They don't want to be side kicked yet, cause they are new tot he game and want to see the low lvl badies. After a while of playing, if they have had enough of the low lvl badies, then sure make them your side kick and show them the realy bad badies so they want to lvl to get ot them.
It has its purpose, it is just up to you if you use it or not. Persoanly i wouldn't mind at least 1 xp per kill, but i would like to see that even going solo. I would like to see at least 1 xp and influence being dished out, even if they are 10 lvls down, they may not be THAT experianceing, but every battle teaches you soemtihng new... even easy ones.
