The exceptions are not arbitrary. They are based on how people actually play the game. People generally don't solo on Rogues most of the time, because they understand Rogues are group dependent. If soloing is important to a player, they have a solo class they can use when they can't find a group on their Rogue.

The problem is you assume late game is not valuable. That is why you think you can ignore a Mage's late game mediocrity. The purpose of leveling is to get to late game, so you can't ignore it.

The question OP asked is not "most underpowered leveling class".

In the context of a discussion of overall power, yes, they are arbitrary. In the context of overall power all aspects of the game should be weighed equally for all classes. That's the whole point of overall power. So, personally, I think your methodology is wrong, and therefore, your conclusion is unqualified.
