Why should any class take longer to level than any other class, killing the same set of mobs?

Because EQ isn't WoW?
Yeah, they got the some of the penalties wrong. Chanters and necros and shamans shoulda had big penalties and warriors and rogues shoulda had big bonuses and other classes should have been found inbetween. That sucks. But they got some right too. SK/pal tanks are way more than 40% better than warriors in xp groups, plus they have a knack for solo/duo/trio that warriors often lack; it's not entirely insane for them to have an xp penalty.
The weird/dumb/unplanned stuff that was present on live and is present on p99 is a HUGE part of what makes EQ so great. The people who truly like their class play it regardless of xp bonus or xp penalty. 60 rangers are proud to be 60 rangers instead of just another epic rogue or whatever. Etc.
Would most of us have preferred things a bit different? Yeah. Are most of us still playing p99 now, over a decade later, because this game is still better than anything else even with its little (or big) quirks and imbalances? Fuck yeah.
