Default Hybrid Exp Penality In Regard to Groups

I know that my Dwarf Paladin takes a 40% hit on experience and as much as I don't like I have learned to accept it. However, last night a douche bag that will remain nameless refused to invite me to a group because of it. Now don't get me wrong, I believe in the right of free association/disassociation and this is not why I call said douche bag a douche bag. That is beside the point anyway.

How do you guys feel about grouping with hybrid classes, particularly with Paladins, in light of the drain we are on group exp? Does the Paladin's skill set offset the penalty in your opinion?

I'm not concerned with getting to 50 ASAP, I'm more concerned about having fun with the game. If you're a skilled player, and a good person, then I could care less as long as the exp bar moves in the right direction even if slowly.

Now if I had the option of 2 different tanks (one warrior, one pally, and I don't know either at that time, I may choose a warrior over a paladin because I don't mind faster exp, but if I know the paladin, and know them to be skilled, and good player I'd still take them over a warrior any day.

There is no easy yes or no answer that fits to all circumstances, so long story short ... It depends entirely on the circumstances, needs of the group, player, etc.

As long as the group gels it doesn't matter to me. Been grouping with some slick bards that definitely made the killing and pulling speed well worth having them in the group, had 2 in the group actually and it was probably the fastest xp i had gotten since playing on the server.

I still don't mentally associate the class with the XP penalty. I'm more like, ooooh SK! I can focus on damage! oooooh bard, love the healy songs and buffs! :3
