I mean XP penalties are part of the experience on a classic server but it seems beyond the pale to argue that they actually are completely fair and were implemented relative to solo power. In practice a SK is not a better soloer than a Necro (even if a Necro went out of his way to give his pet 51% every time) nor a Ranger a better soloer than a Druid. Bards stand alone because they are their own class with completely unique mechanics. A paladin has better uptime than a warrior but is it worth 50% experience? Probably not.

But certainly for the present age, which prefers the sign to the thing signified, the copy to the original, representation to reality, the appearance to the essence... illusion only is sacred, truth profane. Nay, sacredness is held to be enhanced in proportion as truth decreases and illusion increases, so that the highest degree of illusion comes to be the highest degree of sacredness.
