I’ve noticed that too, the XP system changes the way you approach trading even if you don’t realize it at first. I also looked into it before trying and found https://lnk.bio/evedexreview which helped me understand how people are using it without overthinking things. After trying it myself, I’d say it’s useful as a way to stay engaged, especially if you’re someone who loses interest quickly. But there’s also a downside, because it can encourage more activity than necessary. I had to remind myself to stick to my usual strategy and not chase XP just for the sake of it. One thing that helped was setting clear limits before starting, so I don’t get carried away. Overall it’s an interesting feature, but it works best if you treat it as a bonus, not the main goal.
