I'd hate to have seen your response if I had disagreed.

Well it's true, played my ~mid-lvl ranger yesterday for the evening, focusing on making plats. Turned about 1.3kpp the evening, far more than I'd make in a dungeon at the level. The only thing is it helps that there are only like 12 other ranger in the game at the same level hehe, and none on I'm sure. There were like 10 people in the main zone I was running, at most, and only one ranger at lvl43 for a while and not bothering my hunt, he was just working on xp. Pretty much run the zone picking what I want, getting those very rare drops. I could never do that on live back then, always competition, would have been four or five other rangers around the same level at least.

I wasn't arguing your play style though. I was saying that you're in the minority with the way you prefer to level. Your post bears evidence to that.

I do a lot of grouping in the mid level through the night shift.

At least in our time zone we don't give a shit about penalties, can you do the role is much more important. I've lost more exp on unrezzed deaths and CR downtime from retarded pure classes than has been sucked up by hybrid penalties.

If anything hybrids on p1999 seem to generally be more competent than pures, especially for tanking ... though warrior taunt sucks and I'm an enchanter so I'm gonna be biased there.

For example: Djinosaur is an Iksar SK right, one of the heaviest XP sinks, but he's fucken good at what he does and support players readily join his groups.

What...? wasn't levleing my ranger. In fact I have never had plans to cap a ranger here, at least not until after vel if I decide to at that point. But point is, dungeons are not exactly the best place to go for xp, mainly because they are overpopulated. Yet, that's what people do, due to the better xp mod there. But they go anyway, then get frustrated. And then loot, maybe lguk or something as you level, but even then you are not going to be making off like a bandit every evening. People in dungeons are more worried about xp, or there simply would not be an issue with hybrids. If they were worried about loot, then more people would be taking advantage of the lack of good trackers in the game, hunting the mobs that drop more than one would get in a dungeon group. But yeah, if it were about loot in dungeons, what issue would there be with adding hybrids to the groups? It's about xp.
