I'm still not convinced that the exp rates are the problem. There's not many to group with at the lower levels, so the solution is to powerlevel everyone to 20?
When I tried playing VZTZ, I boxed a cleric and warrior to level 20. It didn't take long at all, but then I quit because I did not come across a single other player in range of me. Decreasing the amount of xp needed to level will, if anything, make it harder for group-dependent classes to stay caught up with the soloers. People soloing get an increase in xp, and people without groups and no ability to solo are still stuck getting 0 xp during those times.
