Serious lack of tanks here

I'm not sure you should be equating these things. Spider silk isn't classic so let's abolish hybrid penalties!

I'm also not sure that you're wrong. Exp penalty is major reason not to roll hybrid tanks.

The P99 devs' logic is inconsistent. If you're going to cherrypick and include patches like spider silk stacking or being able to buy full stacks of items from merchants when those changes didn't go in until AFTER Luclin, how can you justify keeping hybrid exp penalties just because they were removed during the Velious era?

The hybrid exp penalty was removed in January 2001, less than 2 years after the game launched and during EQ's "golden" era.

At that time, Dark Age of Camelot was in production and the developers had already announced that there would be no hybrid exp penalties in that game. The EQ Live team magically came to their senses and followed suit almost immediately.
