It has nothing to do with ,,Infinite'' ammo. You @Tmpst don't understand how this work.
First of all, supplying the player with ammunition in BF3 is different to that in BF2042. In bf2042 you have to empty all the bullets from the magazine and reload before you can resupply the ammo. In bf3, it is enough to fire only one round without reloading the weapon, it will also work with the infinite ammunition turned off.
Secondly, replenishment of ammunition in BF3 is charged several times. With one player standing on ammo box it will display 3 times ,,RESSUPLY 20XP''. Ammo boxes from BF2042 work properly granting XP points only once.
The problem of farming will be solved if you make the BF3 crate work exactly the same as the one from BF2042.
If the BF3 crate only gives XP once, the efficiency of ,,BF3 AMMO BOX FARM'' will drop to 33%.
If the bf3 crate can be dropped (and resupplied with ammo) every 20 seconds instead of 5 SECONDS !!! then the farm's efficiency will drop to 8% !!!
With ~70 players standing on single BF3 AMMO BOX it is possible to get ~15k XP Point.
Of course there is a silent XP per minute limit of 10k XP.
In single hour players can get about 650k XP with ribbons, playtime and victory bonuses.
To sum up, making the BF3 gearbox work the same as that of the BF2042, it will reduce the efficiency of XP FARMS to 8%.
15K XP/min * 0.08 = 1200 XP/min (less then HELICOPTER ,,2400XP/min" and IRISH FARM ,,1600XP/min)
This isn't the only way to get XP. I recommend to change XP CAP from 10k/min to about 2k/min for all ,,Full XP'' server on portal.
