GTA Online players resort to walking in circles to farm XP

GTA Online players are walking in circles to farm a very specific type of XP.

Enter the method of walking in circles repeatedly.

Just below, one Twitter user has chronicled the current goings-on in GTA Online. Right now in Rockstar's multiplayer mode, players can gather at an event called a Car Meet, where they can show off their customized rides to impress other players.
