Helldivers 2 players who engage in XP farming by leaving operations early are not actually negatively affecting the game's progress, as confirmed by the community developers. While this behavior may not be democratic and is only beneficial to the XP farmer, it does not harm other players or impact the game's outcome. The game's community manager had previously provided inaccurate information on this practice, leading to confusion within the community.
