1. Will certainly be abused, you will just have bots/alts filling those spots afk
2. If you boost outdoor kunark zones it will just mean bards, druids, wizards level faster and you'll see even more PL groups. I do agree that end game dungeons could use a little tweaking.. . but outside of those, ultimately I think you'd just see the majority of them being used to level up alts faster via PL ala runnyeye.
3/4. How much faster do you want levelling to be than it is now ? Your solution of making it easier to level overall with further incentives or using complicated mechanics to artificially control xp seems counter to the point of classic EQ and what makes it interesting. This type of over thinking is what lead mmo's into a death spiral in my opinion
5. There are only so many zones with guards to kill. By eliminating this, you're robbing people of a relaxing solo playstyle enjoyed by many. Some don't like grouping or being funneled into what you deem is the only way to play the game. This would also just result in more stress and people fighting over a now a reduced amount of solo spots.

You wouldn’t see that in Kunark zones. It’s not like some of those Kunark zones aren’t already to most popular locations for bards and Druids, it literally changes nothing. There’s so many good exp spots in the Kunark outdoor zones for both groups and soloers that simply go unused because it doesn’t make sense from an efficiency perspective.
If I’m soloing in the old world on a caster I can probably kill two mobs for the same amount of mana it takes me to kill one in Kunark (or if not the same amount of mana, the point is after killing the Kunark mob I need to med...my mana bar can’t kill two mobs one after the other like it can in the old world). That’s such a huge discrepancy, especially at higher levels when you’re already spending hours and hours on each level. Boosting those ZEMs a bit would make it make more sense to explore the Kunark zones sometimes.
