Each mob rewarding EXP in attention to a larger reward for the battle ending would result in an area for casual EXP, skillup and overall better conditions for the economy. It wouldn't eradicate leeching but it'd give people the option to level on their own time.
That is the single greatest problem atm - you cant EXP lowbies unless you leech in FFXI atm.
