You're pretty much forgetting the loving point. RPG=A game where you play a character in his story until the end. IT DOESN'T NEED TO HAVE EXP TO BE AN RPG. EXP(Experience Points) CAN BE USED IN ANYTHING, BUT IT'S NOT AN RPG ELEMENT.
RPG Elements:
Story of a Journey/Quest
Character
Growth
The rest are just GAMEPLAY ELEMENTS THAT CAN BE FOUND IN ANY GAME.

Those aren't elements, it's rather a basic concept for an RPG.
The elements that I'm referring to, are RPG gameplay elements. And earning exp and leveling up is a part of it.
Bleep:
The exp system doesn't belong to RPG genre alone, that was my point. Having an EXP system doesn't mean it has RPG elements. RPG elements would refer to using that exp to IMPROVE your character's overall stats, now THAT'S RPG element. In shooters, EXP is used to unlock items you already have but couldn't use and Rank Up; These do NOT improve your character's overall 'stats'.
