If a paladin or SK can't hold agro, they just suck.

It’s hilarious that people are implying Warrior or Rogue is worse than Ranger.

Haven’t ever cared about meta, only my time. I mained a Ranger back in the live EQ days, so I don’t think they’re a bad class at all, but in Classic they are very underwhelming given their penalty and middle of the road DPS. Of course if they have a CoF and all BiS they’d be doing better than 50% of DPS on the server, but I’m assuming equal geared/equal level characters.

Same reason I’m skittish about the penalty is also why I wouldn’t take someone 4 levels higher than the group generally. If I’m group leader, I’m not going to make a choice that hurts the group in a benefit/burden sense. It’s unfair of me to put that on the group.

Their exp penalty is assessed on the group before experience is divvied out to everyone, not after. Wiki explains it much better than I can. It’s definitely noticeable though, especially with multiple hybrids in a group. If people are so butthurt about groups not taking the exp penalty, then they can either play a different class, solo, or only play with friends/guild mates and not a bunch of rando’s. Not saying I wouldn’t not ever take a hybrid, but given the choice between a DPS with a penalty and one without, I’ll take the one without.

Say the group leader invites a Wizard, despite one or two objections. That player does fine. Rooting. Nuking low health mobs before/as they gate and begin to cheal.
Best of all, not pulling aggro or AFKing excessively. And they ported everyone out after the group finished the xp session. Other party members might still have wanted
a rogue or bard to fill that last slot, but you made the decision. Then, months later, an earthquake or gm event happens and that Wizard friend you made from all of
those invites sends you a tell, saying to run to the nearest wiz spire. You get there before all of the other min/maxing meta players because they didn't factor in the
social aspect of gameplay and the spells that have nothing to do with sustained damage output or heals. It's similar to the story of the Chinese farmer. "Maybe."

This never happens. Consider Blue.

Wizards cast their darn spells and mages use their heckin earth elemental, which once again proves my theory; richard simmons is gay

Solution to the problem of always being asked to eat deathtouch: Tell the guild "No." See, that was easy. Once in awhile is simply part of such encounters, but if a player's always being asked to do it he should stand up for himself. Too many players allow themselves to be treated like dirt.
