So for better or for worse, yes, a percentage of people will rather group with another kind of DPS that wont bring a xp penalty with them.
I read in the wiki that zone ZEMS are altered from classic to reflect the classic "fog of war" if you will and keep us in the dark about ZEMS (like classic)
In the same vein, since we all know about class penalties and people ARE discriminating against rangers because of it, we should follow the classic rational and remove them.
When the knowledge of hybrid penalties became widespread and it left the hybrids shunned... the penalty was dropped. We are at that point of knowledge and discrimination now. Lets drop it.
Scenario A: You are preparing a group for a dungeon crawl, and you have one slot left to fill and since all your bases are covered it can be anything. Which is the LAST class you pick?
Answer: Ranger. Brings nothing to the group but average DPS and a huge xp penalty.
Or maybe I just want to play a Ranger on pvp and am just mad because i'll be just average as a class goes, but have to pay some huge xp penalty? you decide.
