Heck yea people cared about hybrids being in group in classic. Heck a halfling warrior can level to 60 two times by the time a troll SK reaches level 59. Hybrid exp penalties just destroyed group exp and people knew it and never invited Paladins/SKs unless they were farming an item (like Ykeshas).
The few hybrids the servers had back then were carried by their non-hybrid friends who had to eat their exp penalties, lol.

Not many people knew xp penalties were shared with the group for the first year or so... it wasn't until Verant explained how it worked that hybrids got shunned, if I recall correctly.
Unless they were running packet sniffers with a friend and comparing XP numbers gained, it woukd have been difficult to measure. All we had was an xp bar moving pixel by pixel to measure anything, no XP percents built into UIs or anything like that... I don't even remember if the blue XP bar that measure progress within an orange bubble of XP is classic.
