I was wondering why I see hardly any SK’s or Paladin’s in game, so I’m guessing this penalty hits a lot harder than I thought it would. Makes me almost not want to group with anything but Halfling Rogues.

There’s two factors at play that I can think of:
1) The perception of how hard the XP penalty hits the group is sometimes different than reality. Not everyone understands how it works.
As was mentioned above, people like to shit on the thought of adding a hybrid to the group, yet do not bat an eye adding a non-hybrid to the group that is 3 levels higher than them. Everyone is just told repeatedly "hybrids are bad for XP, mmmkay?"
2) It's easier to roll and equip a melee later if you start as a caster. It's easy to tell the players who started with melee classes vs. those who are playing a melee alt with a caster main... the melee alts are much better equipped. As casters hit 50 and have tons of equip and plat to spend, I think you'll see an influx of tank/melee.
