if there was some sort of fix to EXP whether it be a temporary bonus, a grouping bonus, hot zones, whatever it may be, that would be a good first step as it would provide a larger recruiting grounds for the end game, thereby creating more competition.

tl;dr: exp remains the biggest issue on this server

At this point you're just talking about making the game easy for people and catering to the lazy. There is no reason why 7 months into release people should not be 50, or close. Only thing I would agree is perhaps an exp bonus for melee classes as opposed to a penalty, but any caster should be 50 with even the most casual of schedules. It's not an excuse anymore 7 months into the server.
