FWIW, I think in true classic EQ hybrids deserver their penalties. In Kunark Warriors get outrageous improvements (huge skill increases relative to hybrids, triple attack, more HP, fantastic disciplines) and suddenly the XP penalty becomes silly.

Anyway I chalk this stuff up to the slow progression. For example, on live the Donals BP of outrageously overpoweredness was good for maybe a few months. Here it's been out for years. Mage Epic pets are well balanced for Velious but tear up Kunark; we're stuck in late Kunark for 18 months now. Iksars don't get any planar armor. etc etc.
Really? fatty SKs deserved to not have enough mana (due to double penalty + low stats) to cast their L1 Necro pet when they first got spells at L9? and the XP penalty is just pants-on-head retarded.
