People pack into dungeons because that's where the best loot typically is, and the XP rates are better than outdoor zones. They even discriminate as to which dungeons at certain levels are better. There are a lot of dungeons that are almost completely unused. Befallen is a good example of this. One of the best Zems in the game, but no real chance for good sellable loot. I really honestly think that if they go ahead and lift the hybrid penalty early, its just going to be more of the same dungeon groups with a ranger instead of 2 rogues. There would probably be more rangers soloing in outdoor zones, but I can't see why people would all of a sudden be clamoring to get in a group with them. Sorry I just do t see your argument being that valid.
That being said. I would support hybrid penalties being lifted early. But I'm not going to stew over it if they aren't.
I pref xp over loot, myself. It's not like I can't just go to EC and buy the gear I actually need. And again, people packed into just a small number of zones, this is not the norm, there is a reason, which I've addressed. If we had a pop like as on early live, this problem would be screaming out at you. This only retards population growth. Well as long as you are happy getting your loots in the over camped dungeons with a low pop server, but too bad this server wasn't more balanced to retain more of a population.
