Possibility of adding bonus's to less popular classes?

Just like the new mob xp bonus's, is there any possibility of making it easier for "shunned" classes to get a small bonus?

I can't speak for mid, or hib (valewalkers come to mind). But on Alb, I have leveled 5 50's now, all very easily and streamlined, but my merc is one of the most painful things to level. I can only imagine scouts and infs. Can we make it rewarding somehow to group these rejects? It doesnt even have to be xp, just something that helps with people wanting to group them. This aoe meta is insane to try and find groups with classes that dont fit that meta.

The devs have been trying...they have a 5% social bonus to xp for each unique class added to a group and they recently made it so tinderboxes give a +25% dps damage add that stacks with all other damage adds to help melees find groups...unfortunately I don't think anything can match the speed of leveling you get from mass killing of mobs that ae groups can accomplish.

I suspect the carrot isn't working so they may need to apply the stick to the xp that ae groups are able to achieve.

Bombing will always be the most efficient farming/XPing tool unless something is hardcoded to HEAVILY punish groups that have more than 2 of each class, which is probably not a good idea.


XPing is pretty easy here though, even an SB/Inf/NS can get up fast simply by tasking a lot, and using endurance/combined forces barrels. In combination with XP-Items even the 45+ levels fly by pretty fast

I am quoting/using Seppel here, cuz he made it kinda clear:

As long as you can level from 49 to 50 with less than 2hrs ingame playing time ALONE, there is ABSOLUTELY no need for change imho.

guys...stay in the real world please

We're really through the rabbit hole, aren't we.
