People can spam PotD and HoH and Fates to get themselves to 70 (and you know, buy their way through jump potions), probably in a shorter time frame compared to NG+. I don't really see the issue there. It wouldn't mess with any sort of balance. It would just add another option and that's not a bad thing. MMOs thrive on replay value, after all. I just think NG+ could be made better (and used by many) if people could gain exp from it.
I'll reiterate what I posted from earlier. The first twenty one quests (70-71) awards 10,060,00 Million EXP. This is more than the MSQ Roulette at a comparable level. In fact, it's nearly the equivalent Mt. Gulg offers. If you skipped every cut scene, it'd likely take less than a half hour, thus making NG+ the best leveling method by a landslide. And you could then restart and get that 10M+ all over again with no limitations.
