So, your resources should go to the features that most players will make use of or that will benefit the tail end life of the game. I think that in the terms on new game +, it might have been less clear what people really wanted from it. Many have different ideas of what the feature should be and it has not come to the expectation of all. It does NOT mean they don't care about story. It means they care about more than just the story.
So, please let's try to move from that misrepresentation. You can like more than one thing. New game + doesn't have to be only the bare minimum. If something simple like giving xp is gonna interest more players into using the feature, why should one tell them off. How is the feature gonna lose anything from it? Let's try to think less in tribalist terms and more in how we can include as many people as possible.
Worthless to *me*, maybe, but not to *everyone*.

Content doesn't have to always include many people as possible. The things I mentioned don't. How many actually play Hroths or do Ultimate? Very few, especially in regards to Ultimate. NG+ just isn't for the majority of people. Adding EXP is pretty much pointless anyway - if it gives too much, it could nullify the point of things like PotD or HoH for many people. If it gives too little, then why even HAVE exp rewards in the first place? If you really want to do the story again then pitiful little exp rewards shouldn't be the deciding factor in whether or not you're truly interested. ^^

You want to level an alt job, do PotD, HoH, dungeons, FATEs, or any of the other myriad ways to level. I really, really don't think we need another way to spam exp. SE doesn't seem to think so, either.
