I just don't see the point in a bonus exp system, not because it doesn't do anything, but because, in terms of being able to store xp for other jobs, that would ruin queues even more than now.

People wouldnt have to play tank or healer at all to level them this way.

As for the "merit system", I'd rather those abilities just be given while leveling, instead of requiring obscene amounts of after max level xp to earn (anyone who thinks it wouldn't be a eureka level grind is delusional).

I'm all for adding flavor to the game, but you have to look at it objectively. People hate blue mage as it is. That is what a merit system would be like in this game.

I'd rather see relics and raid weapons start having abilities or effects on them (not armor or set bonuses, as that would just be a mess, but the final weapons in each tier would be balancable and fair imo)
