Nah. I'd rather them remove the timesink altogether, without adding any. Timesinks don't add any challenge, they're just there to waste people's time. And we waste plenty time already in many areas of the game (like running).
Surplus was not added as a timesink, it was to get people to level more classes to utilize the action & traits system, instead of just rushing to 50 on one. Even with surplus you can hit 50 in a month so it's not like it's much of a penalty anyway.

The only reason why people complain about it is they want to hit the cap as soon as possible. But I guess I can understand why, the process of leveling in this game is so boring right now you can't really stop to enjoy it.
