Not if the world actually works that way. If you would get more experience from killing zombies with a sword than you would from trapping them in a hole and dropping rocks on them, then that's simply a truth about how the world works, and the characters should recognize it.But the difference i see is that goals like getting more gold andcssving brother etc are ones in game that the characters have, while getting more xp by doing it one way vs the other is out of game world decision making.
Pretending that the world doesn't actually work that way, in spite of evidence to the contrary, would be meta-gaming.
