Should also remember to point out that character level plays a role in experience rates as well. Higher-level Warrior can take more of a group's experience than a lower-level Ranger. Unfortunately, crusading against experience rate misconceptions feels like a losing battle within this community. Many players seem uninterested in learning the ins-in-outs beyond the bare minimum required to make a character function at a basic level. I get the impression that such folks learn "hybrid bad!" and don't want to be confused by further facts. You should expect this situation to take an even more comical turn once Kunark is out and Iksar Monks will fail to attract the same sort of discrimination in spite of their 44% penalty which exceeds that of Paladins or Rangers.
I give the original poster some leeway on the group composition because he specifically says he was excluded due to experience, not due to class. Presumably someone told him it was due to experience because it'd be a strange assumption in light of the seeming class redundancies in those groups.
