Isn't there some sort of compromise that can be reached here? Like, for example, if a group has only one hybrid then the shared exp penalty is omitted or lessened for non-hybrid group members. And if a group has more than one hybrid, the exp penalty is shared?
Just an idea, but there must be some action taken by the devs to prevent the inevitable consequence of hybrid shared xp penalties.. which I fear will be groups shunning hybrids. I'm behind the dev vision for p99, but like other people have pointed out, the devs haven't recreated a pristine classic experience. In fact, there are a number of deviations from the pristine classic version (i.e. mob speed) so I don't see why making some accommodation for something that was later corrected and widely recognized as a bug is out of the question.
