Farming is not considered an 'Exploit', at least not by most. There are various places where you can do that in both games. Some might consider it Cheese, but if you are having fun at it? Go for it. It's your game. Make the most of it in any way that makes you enjoy the game.
Why? Because in the setting there aren't "infinite" monsters. And you're exploiting the game's AI by spawning infinite monsters.
The other problem is challenge. If you keep leveling up, everything becomes much easier and less challenging.
And a game without a challenge is not fun. It's boring.
You could just use the console or EEKeeper and get the levels.
Case in point: I have a friend who has never played through the "Grand Theft Auto" series without putting in every cheatcode at the start of each game. I find that incredibly boring, but it seems to work for him.
I understand that but he asked if it was an exploit. Which means that he cared if he was exploiting the game.
In my opinion, he does. If he's having fun either way, it's up to him to do as he pleases.
But if you're having fun, go for it. That's the golden rule.
In ToEE, you can theoretically go to the Deklo grove and squat, killing an endless wave of mobs until you level up to maximum. That's a perfectly valid way to play the game. I may not enjoy doing it, but then I don't in my game. If someone does, it's not an exploit. It is a valid play style.
I take it that the OP asked the question, not because they had any strong views on the topic, but simply because they were curious as to what came back. Leastwise that is how I took it. So, if they are having fun, where's the harm? It's not like they are CTRL - 'Q' or whatever that command is that automatically kills anything. That, to me is an exploit. But then again, if someone enjoys that? Why not?
I generally stop myself from using it, but I always know it's there. Watching. Waiting. Dun dun dun.
Well, the CTRL + Y command is a pure cheat, not an exploit.
For example an exploit would be a dialogue option that wasn't updated and kept giving you 500 gold as a reward as long as you kept clicking on it.
Technically, it gives you infinite gold because you keep click the option as much as you want.
It's the same thing here. Exploiting the AI to spawn endless groups of enemies for virtually infinite xp.
And it would be infinite because they're endless and there's no limit.
Sure it can be fun playing games with exploits, glitches and/or cheats and there's nothing bad about it if you're having fun. But they still are exploits, glitches and cheats, nonetheless.
One possible way out would be some sort of monster generator (that converts magical energy into monster X, or just gates them in from alternate Prime Plane realities, of which there are infinite amounts).
In this case, the Gaunts are not gated in, nor is there some sort of magical generator creating them. So it is definitely an exploit of the game engine.
The Outer Planes, on the other hand, could theoretically have infinite number of monster X, as each plane is basically infinite.
