Just hit level 100 and my main concern with the game is class progression

I understand that there are more important discussions to be had for a healthy economy and balance, but with how much time it takes to level classes after ~15 it feels like you basically hit a brick wall where anyone that isnt able to play for ~40h weekly has no chance to ever get the higher level gear.

This is all made significantly worse by the fact there are so many levels that provide absolutely nothing and going through 16 - 20 for pilot is the same amount of XP required from 1 to 15, but with no reward until lvl 20.

I am all for a soft cap and somewhat linear increase in XP requirements but the current state makes it a chore and if you are planning to wipe? No level before 25 should be empty.

Its not a new opinion but after playing a lot since release I feel like the strongest toys are impossible for the average player to get within a reasonable time frame and makes the game a whole lot less challenging for people that are further in the progression line.
