It's kind of goofy, but what is it exploiting? If I were trying to stay alive under attack by hundreds of zombies, I'd try to find a defended position too. It seems like a genuinely useful strategy to me--two guys in front kneeling, two guys in back standing up, giving everyone line of sight. I mean it makes a lot more sense than just running around in circles or whatever.

In terms of closets and bathroom, it's exploiting the awesome power of the melee attack. As long as you're in there, nobody's getting hurt, period, which does seem a bit unlikely for a zombie attack with hundreds of zombies charging your single doorway.
we just did this last night on expert after epic failing on the finale for about an hour, and made it through unharmed :D-

Maybe, but would it be more fun? Besides, it's not fool-proof, especially on expert. Boomers appear, smokers drag you out, and tanks show up to turn you into meat. Tanks showed up twice during our expert finale.
Having to barricade the windows might be fun, just like slow zombies might be fun. But it's already fun the way it is.

Okay you guys need to define what you mean by "exploit" in cases like this. What you're describing is designed into the game, therefore it is not an exploit in the usual use of the word IMO. When I hear that term it means making unfair use of a bug or glitch, not like you're exploiting a natural resource or something.

I've only had it less than a week and already run into it.
On No Mercy finale we were near the minigun and some on the next roof up just starting the event and no-one was on the minigun itself so I grabbed it for a bit, just to soften the the first few waves up - expecting to have someone watch my back from above. I was firing for a while then zombies start hitting me so much I left the gun and turned around to face a boomer and a dozen zombies right there. After I died in about 3 seconds while scrambling for the ladder, I zoom out wondering WTF everyone else was. They were all on the tiny ledge on the back side of the roof where no zombies or tanks can get to. I don't know why I sat there watching for the eternity it took them to kill two tanks with pistols since it was so lame.

I got a game and was exploit spammed with (no joke) 4 boomers simultaneously followed by 3 tanks and 2 witches. in about a 2 minute period.
Total bullshit.
But the great thing about the exploiters is you know they suck, and have to cheat to win. therefore, find a different server. when they have nobody to play with, then they'll get bored (and hopefully banned)
