My Experience guide:
Specialize on kamikaze leeching. Max out athletics or riding(dont forget the horse)
This strategy is easy and maxes out your gain!
Just run into the enemies and get killed. Using ALT-TAB you can rack up your XP/time ratio a lot!(you can do other things)
Furthermore you dont have to spent a lot of money.
Dont underestimate "improving" your k/d ratio. The less kills, the better, because you will probably be put into the better team when you really play.
Thats the best strategy to play CRPG if you want to be successful, how motivating!
(my guide is meant to be sarcastic, but it is full truth in it)
The current system is so frustrating. If I had known the XP mechanics I wouldnt have started, but I have to say that CRP is about 5% better then native(not a lot, it could be much better)
Maybe it is better then the killstealmadness, but it is still shit and needs MASSIVE CHANGE!
Teamplay and tactics are overestimated, skill is important(which is not rewarded)
