Why would letting a ranger, paladin, sk, or bard join your group make everyone earn less exp? I was under the impression that the exp penalty was applied to the individual character.

I've spoken to a few 60s - most hybrids, some not - the number one reason they will not group with them is the experience penalty. Its an ungodly slow grind here. Making it any slower is just stupid.

And the reason I list core classes is because they carry barely any experience penalty compared to hybrids. They are also far, far more useful in groups.

troll SK has a 68% XP penalty.

If a healer forms a group of 3 with a troll SK and a Iksar monk (44% XP penalty), it will be pretty much slow XP gain...

Slow XP gain depends on the group, not the classes in the group. I've been in groups where we had a monk, a bard, and an SK and the XP flew because we worked as a team and basically chain-pulled. I've also been in a group where I was the only hybrid and the XP was horrible because the group wasn't jiving with each other.

lets say you're a healer in a Troll SK and Iksar monk trio group, and another group has a healer with a halfing race warrior and rogue. Assuming all players are experienced players and knows how to play their role, the warrior/rogue group will level much faster than the troll SK/Iksar monk group...

the troll SK group has a 68% + 44% penalty, and the warrior/rogue group has a 13.55% + 14.5% bonus XP. Big difference in XP gain

Why? There are less groups on R99 and those that can be had can be worse for it in the XP discrimination department. If anything R99 is the soloers dream server and the dedicated groupers nightmare.

Only if the cleric/warrior/rogue group actually handles their pulls consistently. More goes in to the XP rate of a group than the class make-up of the group. Yes, the cleric/SK/Monk group has to kill more things to gain the same XP. But if they can kill faster, avoid long fights because of better pulling, and pull more often because of less down time due to the previous two points, they can kill more things per hour.
