I voted to remove it now.
The original devs of EQ said it was a mistake from the outset and they wish they never did it.
The reason why we all play P99 is because of changes made on Live that took away the luster of the game. There was something that was just "right" about original EQ that we all remember fondly.
The removal of the hybrid penalty was not one of those changes that took away that luster.
Like someone earlier said, grouping is much less common on P99 than it was on Live. I also don't remember my Live server being overpopulated with Shammies/Necros/Enchanters/Monks (okay maybe Necros) and underpopulated with hybrids. If anything it was the opposite.
