There’s tons of bonus xp awarded now exclusively with the Stars Alignment bonuses (assist and shared vanquishes).
For what it’s worth: I’m a solo player (always have been) and love being co star and love someone riding with me even more. Really. I don’t care about their skill level because even noobs allow you to see through a wall so long as you’re both looking the same direction.
I know some people will dislike having a rider or being co-star but it’s counterproductive to me (not wanting a rider).
As @spIash_damage points out, you get a ton of XP as both the co-star and the host. The only real downsides to having a co-star are the fact that your legendary hats don't activate, you may be unable to use cover as well as the co-star sticks up above you, and people trying to knock the Wizard off may hit you instead.
