All in all its not for nothing, even if you were standing in a major arkfall, the game can sometimes reward you for not even firing a single shot while in it. Maybe cause you killed some monsters that didn't belong to the arkfall but were still in the red zone.
I dont think standing still for 8hrs to get 2200 exp is a reward at all... that's like 0.04% of 1 level
