So just today I finally decided to level a Nezarec's Whisper I've been looking at, since I finally have a use for an Arc Glaive right now, but I'm finding it to be incredibly slow. I figured out that melee kills made by a glaive no longer count towards weapon leveling, even though they used to, and they still track melee kills on the kill tracker.
It makes leveling this glaive unbearably slow, especially since the Haunted weapons have really weird level requirements for perks, and I feel like that's probably a bug or unintended, since it feels really bad.

Just equip it, especially, for special or power weapons, run activities that give xp.
