For example, no hybrid exp penalty is a great change because exp penalties are a terrible way to try to balance the game. So then why now nerf pet class exp by 75%? The justification is that Enchanter charm is too strong, but screwing over 3 other classes (which aren't even particularly strong classes) in the process just makes zero sense.

Beta changes gonna happen in beta. I expect some smaller changes will occur even after launch. Folks may misremember how much p1999 has changed over the course of its lifetime. The only constant is change afterall.
For those worried about all the changes, it might be best to wait until near the end of the month when Secrets makes the final announcement of Launch with finalized ruleset. For those that want to have input in those changes. Involvement in beta, play time with feedback, and good faith correspondence on Discord is getting dev responsiveness. They are listening. | ||

One man's idea of bad and nonsensical differs from another man's idea of bad and nonsensical.
Personally I think it's nonsensical to want to play classic EQ and also demand a bunch of modern features in it. I think it's nonsensical to have warriors getting the same exp as hybrids when classic warriors are abjectly terrible and the worst class in the 1-50 game. I think it's nonsensical to put in mid-Luclin pet exp rules when charm is already the most OP thing in the game, many players make mages just to race to the level cap and necros solo group content like the lord room and fear mobs. To me, your ideas are nonsensical. | ||

I've said this before but stealing experience is literally the worst way to handle any sort of balancing issue. It affects who gets invited to groups (and probably not in a way that you expect, its hurts melee characters in certain situations), and also promotes people watching parsers to micromanage DPS output instead of just playing the game. While soloing it feels super bad to lose half exp just because a spell got resisted etc. There's a bunch of really obvious reasons why this is a bad mechanic, that's what I mean by nonsensical.
