Merits > Job Points!

CP farm areas taken? Go to incursion; it's even customizable to how difficult you want it to be.

Even lower level mobs like level 95 give CP. Sure it's not a lot, but you wouldn't expect lower level mobs to give you a lot of exp either. It's supposed to be more difficult to get CP because basically what SE is doing is instituting a level "soft cap". When you have a soft cap, it takes a ridiculous amount to go up even the smallest amount of improvement (at least in other games that I have played that had a soft cap). If SE didn't do it this way then there would be no more progression except through ilevel gear. Should you be able to increase CP gain rate by stuff like CP rings? sure, we have exp rings too, makes sense. There should probably also be CP pages (like Miratete's Memoirs). Should we be able to convert merits to CP? no way.

idk I can make pretty decent xp off of lowish level stuff... and then there is RoE, GoV/FoV and assignments for tons. I get it's supposed to be harder but at this level it's fake difficulty. I mean it already takes 9.9 cp to cap just one job. Job specific merits take 740k xp. And cp gain rate is much lower on the good mobs. That alone makes it harder. You said this is like leveling well then let's make this actually like leveling

Edit: Also another problem is the whole penalty for ilvl difference needs to go away

yes, that is quite annoying. Since it's a level based off gear instead of actual level. oh, oh.... mob is about to die... switch gear mages, just for the death. darnit! was too slow. DDs, stop killing so fast!
