I don't see how you can just pretend like it isn't there if you have to make choices around that.

* and to that guy who said nobody is going to wait around half an hour for the right class.. yes, we will because we can manage our time around that waiting.

The exp penalty exists precisely to force people to make the decision you are "already" discussing. So working as intended in that regard. There's nothing to fix, that was the explicit intent. They were looking to make certain classes rarer. They understood there would be discrimination but they figured enough would make it to max level and prosper. If you're looking for change, that happens later when that patch arrives, when the intent changes. "The Vision" is classic.

If you want exp, you and your friend should roll a Monk and Shaman or some other power duo and go get that exp. Remember, exp stops being an issue in time, but people remember being dissed forever. That Ogre SK is going to be spending raid points on gear that you need.

The amount of people who care about the EXP penalties is minimal. I had no problem grouping on my RNG. If you are a player who plays their class to the best of their ability, who isn't constantly going AFK or not paying attention, who does their best to have good gear and maybe even multiple pieces per slot for different situations, and most importantly of all someone who is polite and fun to be around and not an annoying e-hipster, people will gladly take you regardless of your class.

People saying they are going to wait an hour for the perfect XP group are so full of shit their eyes are brown. You can say it til the cows come home now, but once you get into the classic era, you won't be doing this and the other 4 people in your group aren't gonna be putting up with your bullshit.

^ I had a group once of 4 rangers, dru, and me, a necro. Did i mind? Nope. Was happy to be able to watch tv and get exp while my pet did most of the work in the group =)
