No one responded when I mentioned the fact that the xp penalties concerning pets and hybrids were a way of making you play longer in effect ensuring that your MONTHLY SUBSCRIPTION FEES would continue to come in for a longer period of time. The removal of these penalties which resulted in longer time to achieve end game level to me was in response to the fact that Sony began to experience competition.
I mean look at the timelines and you can tell this is obvious. This is not a balance issue.....This was a business move by Sony....You know Sony the guys with the SW:G debacle and other such fuck ups. The fact that this is an issue here is pretty much moot considering there is no subscription service.
You guys can dress it up as a balance issue all you want but you should stop and analyze why the sony devs decided to go this route and i guarantee it was not in response to the EQ boards where people were constantly QQing about X class is more powerful than Y class. It did not have to do with "There are not enough clerics!" or "There are not enough people playing warriors, they are all playing the easy solo classes so my group cant find a tank" because with the sheer number of servers and server pops you could not convince me that there was a severe lack of any class being represented.
