In the case of many of the mongoloids on this server that want to get 60, get all their loot, and wait for the next expansion so they can continue the cycle, yes.

Basically P99 is a min/maxer's heaven. They can do all the things they did on live but can do them with knowledge, including the clarification of XP penalties. With that said, spending an extra few hours getting your levels really irks some people and as such they don't find enough positives in classes like rangers to merit them a spot in a group despite their xp penalty.

There are, however, a lot of people that don't have a stick up their ass and are more happy to play with anyone that also wants to play, regardless of class. As long as you play the class well, a ranger is a fairly versatile and useful groupmember. The problem is that they really are just a jack of all trades - they can do anything but not really well. Bards are the same way but they have mana song~
