WoW has a similar approach with the difference that you still
achieve some exp from each kill. I think it's a better way to go
because the system isn't broken on its own. The bad part is in its
overuse and when the overuse shades completely everything else to
become the only soul.

In fact, along the months, WoW lost a lot of its charm and the quest
experience has been nerfed severely to a state where the balance is
completely screwed, imho. But the model works if it's well
balanced. We take the good parts of both system, the "purpose" and
the direct reward from the fight.
