Such overwhelming encouragement!
That being said, the one thing I've learned from this server is that everybody apparently loathes rangers. There's literally a single ranger for every twenty players of any other class, it seems. Asking a higher-level ranger about their experience finding groups is like talking to a victim of assault.
I always loved rangers on classic. Played one myself to ~40. I thought they were fun.
It's kind of like a bard from D&D. They're pretty good, but every person seems to have an arbitrary and unconditional hatred for them.

A lot of people do not realize there are class/race exp penalties so I was just highlighting that for him.
Given that this game is known for having a slower leveling timeline than traditional MMO's understanding that your class has an additional 40% penalty ontop of that is something new players should be aware of. There is already a large churn rate of people around level 40-50 not to mention 50+ so picking a class you enjoy is important.
To expand on what you said, that 40% exp penalty ends up diluting the exp gains of groups so people frequently avoid hybrids in groups, especially rangers since they are easily avoided due to the large number of monks and rogues around that fill the same group role of dps.
