The hybrid xp penalty didn't suck until it became common knowledge after Kunark release, at which point the small-souled gits in the player base started being dicks to hybrids when forming pickup groups. Much earlier, the small-souled gits in the player base were being dicks to warriors in pickup groups, because "even a ranger can wear the best armor in the game (rubicite), all a warrior has is a few more hp." (My first guild leader was a ranger who had rerolled his L20 warrior, who then cashed out of the game during Kunark when he discovered how badly Rangers were screwed by that expansion once discs were in.)
Basicly, if you just play the damn game and skip the meta minmax bullshit a good time will be had by all.
