Hybrids, what happens?

Afraid your memory is wrong. They put in a hack to just multiply experience earned to the correct amount for hybrids/group members. So it was on a going forward basis only.

It's my understanding that rather than removing the penalty retroactively for the thousands of hybrid characters and rebalancing what their EXP totals "should be", the developers instead put in a quick-fix of simply adding a 40% BONUS to hybrid characters.

This effectively negates the penalty, although hybrids will always have larger exp pools than the more focused classes.
