Hybrid Exp Penality In Regard to Groups

see it this way folks, its an accomplishment to hit 50 as a hybrid now! especialy since the server has been wiped and everyone restarted fresh...

....oh, wait...

Keep in mind that it is now easier to level a hybrid to 50 than before, provided the hybrid is grouped.

Unfortunately, the 'experience stealing' aspect of this recent change will make inviting a hybrid to a group less desirable.

I leveled my Paladin to 50 in the first couple of months of the server being opened, and tackled the penalty myself by putting in the additional required time (mostly duoing with a bard). When I chose to play a Paladin, I understood that more leveling time would be required. However, by making a hybrid in the present post-patch day, one can mitigate the penalty by joining large groups...by sucking experience points.

This is hardly the same kind of sacrifice that one chooses to make if they were to take on the experience penalty by themselves (which is disappointing).
