Class experience penalties don't bother me. I know what I'm getting when I click the thing at creation.
That's not to say I don't think class penalties are also largely pointless. Of course they are. Interestingly these penalties do NOT appear to meaningfully limit the population of the hybrid classes for the most part. Look at "Blue." Even after the removal of class experience modifiers, the population of hybrid classes remained low. The real factor limiting those classes' popularity is, I suspect, their perceived lack of end-game power.
