Default Will the game become too easy once exp penalties are removed?

At first I wasn't really a fan of them, but I began to realize once exp penalties on races and classes are removed doesn't that sort of make the game too easy? A lot of the classes and races that have a penalty do legitimately offer a lot of power. So it sort of removes any penalty for playing an ogre sk for example, which is a very strong race/class combo.

Secondly most groups are probably averaging -20% exp when you take all the group members. That's basically an additional dungeon modifier of experience. I think after this change goes through it will probably be extremely easy to hit 50 on this server because of how much more knowledgeable people are and the level of gear. Thoughts?

Still not a better tank than a (anything) Warrior.

Okay, then an ogre warrior. Does it really make a difference?

No but it will be once people are Velious geared.

The gear is so good it beyond trivializes anything but the toughest of endgame velious boss encounters.

Anything that isnt one of the tough 3-5 Velious raid bosses will be super, super fucking easy with Vel gear sadly.

-you might want to read up on the mechanics of group experience if you think this is how it works
-racial experience penalties aren't going away
-is anyone getting a "HAS SCIENCE GONE TOO FAR?" vibe from all these threads?

My thoughts are you are a deluded masochist. This is the perfect home for you.

Racial penalties don't get removed. In fact, they become more significant because you can no longer share their burden with the rest of your group.

I like xp penalties because it adds "something" to the game. However they are completely flawed and none of the racial are gamebreaking. Ikky AC or troll regen gives a slight edge but never makes at raid gear level any noticeable difference.

Ikky SK and Wars have an "Heroic" aspect because of none plate usage. Kina like DE warrior is for super sucky stats or ranger for super sucky everything.
Playing classic EverQuest itself is hard/punishing/long/frustrating for xp penalties to be just the lil crap over the big shit cake. There is no way the game becomes "too easy" because your warriors are now Trolls instead of halflings.
