I agree with the "no perfect system" part of this, and with the rest of the post, but I feel that I must point out something that you've overlooked, either through lack of familiarity with SWG (which has many, mnay flaws as a game I admit, else I'd still be playing it), forgetfulness (happens to you a LOT), or deliberately so as to not be inconvenienced by it. That something is that SWG "support" characters do get XPs for noncombat activities. Virtually everything you do in the game can garner XPs for the appropriate character (ie: provided they have skill in the area of what they're doing). Medics get XPs for healing, crafters get XPs for crafting, et cetera. That part of the SWG game, at least, was fairly well thought out. Balancing the game, OTOH, was a disaster ...
