i like the bonus idea part, in ffxi every expansion zones became empty, people stoped using dunes, bibkiki bay was completely empty. everyone would do the best zone for exp. not for the exploring cause i go to places only to kill nm's and do dungeons and events/endgame/grind areas. i don't need a stupid reward to run around and call it content. but keeping all the zones new and old usable would be cool. though i'm sure the reason for this is too keep zones full and feeling lively but if anything they can give these bonus's to certain zones every month or so ...keep it changing or something so new zone and old is usable. is sad when you think bout the fun in zones you had and now are dead and pointless to use. pvp games like warhammer use stuff like this for pvp scenarios, where they only release special ones with bonus exp for seasonal and special events. they can do this for old zones, say christmas event in addition to the norm we can all exp in an old area or area never exp b4 on mobs with a bonus added to them if wearing the outfits from the other event. what have you. but either way ..i like this idea the op speaks of, just not for exploring purposes. i don't expect it to be some super viable way for a solo player to enjoy zooming his way to max quicker then party mode.
