Gaining certs/xp as you play the class.

[Taramafor]

So I been thinking... Would it be better to actually earn certs/xp for a class AS you play the class? Also, how about the same idea applied to using the vehicles? This would encourage people to actually USE what they want to BE rather then just, say, go MAX or get in a tank and go on a killing spree to level up another class that they haven't yet played yet want to level up (HE rounds were nerfed for a reason folks).

Of course, once you got the max stats on a unit that might cause some problems. So perhaps a better idea is not to simply only gain certs/xp for the class but to have bonus certs/xp for the class you're playing.

That then leaves us with the issue of people wanting to level up all the classes instead of actually sticking to a class they'd like though. this might need some thinking on. So start thinking already!

There were XP bursts eventually provided in PlanetSide to help familiarise players with the Sanctuary, travel to other continents, and weapons and equipment; unfotunately this particular feature hasn't made it to PlanetSide 2. There is also, of course, the Mission System that is intended to be added for new players... again, don't hold your breath

How about instead, you have extra you can spend on only that class in addition to the certs you get...

Maybe something for premium members...

Premium members already earn an XP boost, so I don't think making paid subs a more desirable option than F2P is the way to go.

I would, however, like to see potential additional XP earned for aiding other members of the same outfit as you, and possibly a system where you can convert CPs to a small amount of station cash for those who can't pay more than the membership.
