I care more about the fun I am having than denying people from groups. Now of course it's always good to make sure people are within healthy ranges. Level 30's should not be grouping with level 22's IMO. I mean why is a level 30 joining such low level groups? Damn. Nut up. Or they probably know that they will be getting the good majority of the pie.
You could negate an XP penalty by having the hybrid be a couple levels lower or so, but even then no groups happen where everyone is completely equal like in these calculators. Especially when each race/class can have many variances in penalties or gains. It ain't that serious. Just stay within reason I say and keep the mobs a flowin. With a SHD or PAL other group members will likely take much less damage and less deaths because they are so good at quickly grabbing aggro on the fly and from a distance. There are benefits.
