I thought players were supposed to play what they wanted to play...

People are "nubs" cause they'd prefer other classes that do the same job(s) better without eating a huge portion of exp?

The logic is flawless with this one. Confirmed mad.

Hmm yes that extra 6.6% exp you will have to get sure is huge

Am I the only one that cares about other people getting exp almost as much as my own? If I wanted to reach max level super fast on my own initiative, I'd play a solo class or any other MMORPG. To me, Everquest is much less individualistic. Most classes need each other to progress, and during the times we don't need each other, we should make an effort to at least help each other.

I was in a CoM group as a ranger with a cleric, and 4 epic'd rogues. One rogue left and I replaced him with an iksar shadowknight that had been LFG for quite a bit. Everyone started groaning and getting pissed, I'm 90% sure they probably even talked about a mutiny, but when the SK arrived the experience rate did not change at all. That SK invited me into plenty of groups in the future even when they were doing fine. I still got to level 60 eventually. People need to chill out.

It sickens me that people would rather see another human being sitting on their ass LFG and bored rather than share a negligible amount progress.

There's not. But there is a problem with people not wanting to play with other people just because they're playing something not ideal.

Why is this a problem? People can group with whoever they want to. Some people gain enjoyment out of the game by min maxing, which in their mind means not grouping with hybrids. Right or wrong, who are you to tell them how they should spend their one hour of free time tonight?

In a game where many classes can't even play on their own, excluding them for a negligible advantage makes one an asshole.


They have every right to be an asshole. We're just saying that they're assholes.

One mans negligible is another mans significant. Say what you want but I absolutely notice a difference having hybrids in my groups. It's not pleasant and I'll continue to prefer not grouping with them when possible. At least til the exp penalties are gone. You have every right to cry about it. Just as I have every right to prefer other classes. When the time comes that thr penalties are gone if my name ends up on some hybrid blacklist and they won't group with me so be it. But I'm pretty sure deep down the hybrid players understand why people don't want to group with them. Instead of crying and blaming the players that simply don't want to waste exp. Why don't we make a "Brad McQuaid and friends are jerks for making my class a hindrance to groups" thread instead? Then we can all cry together instead of arguing amongst ourselves.

Or you can keep calling 80% of the server assholes for not wanting to throw exp away. Either way.

Rofl at the sentiment here.

I swear if they had it their way the character creation screen would consist of:

• Ogre warrior
• Barbarian rogue (if you have 35k for epic)
• Enchanter
• Troll / Ogre Shaman
• Iksar Monk (because they don't have any penalty)

So you'll continue to not group and avoid someone that might be an awesome person IRL just because of the class they rolled?

Do you hear yourself? Do you know how bigoted and elitist that is? Can you imagine how that player must feel?
