No, 10% more than the last usually means 100 for level 1, 110 for level 2, 120 for level 3, 130 for level 4. This is not exponential growth and is represented by a line on a graph, not a curve.

No. No, you fail. At math and at English.
10% more than the last does not mean that at all.
10% more than the last means that 10% is referencing the previous level.
So. Let's say going from level 1 to level 2 takes 100 XP.
Now, going from level 2 to level 3 takes 10% more XP than the last level. The last level took 100 XP, so this one takes 10% more, or 110 XP.
Go from level 3 to 4 takes 10% more than THE LAST LEVEL. Which was going from 2 to 3. Which was 110. So going from level 3 to 4 takes 121 XP.
Andy even gave a table clarifying what they were talking about: https://forums.galaxy-of-heroes.starwars.ea.com/discussion/comment/1580050/#Comment_1580050
It's exponential growth.
10% more than the last is a phrase for how much of an increase there is, not a reset of what 100% is. It means each level increases by the same amount of needed xp, and could be done with addition instead of multiplication. That is why the term compounded exists.
If it seems differently to you, then I'm sorry, but that's not what the common usage is, nor the technical one.
EDIT: you're right. He did show math that was exponential. I was simply going off of what he described with his words, and 10% more than the last is not exponential unless it says compounded too.
