The largest turn-off for me involving Green is the return of hybrid shunning in pickup groups that we'll see all over again. People playing back in 1999 weren't immediately aware of the 40% increased exp penalty that was eaten by the group's experience division. On P1999, everyone knew and it was a real thing. If a group needed a tank or dps and no one else was available, sure, the SK or Ranger were grudgingly welcomed. If a group had rotating members due to the popularity of the location (Think Highpass orcs), you betcha that excuses were made as to why non hybrids were constantly invited in.
We're going to see that nonsense yet again. A halfling warrior is suddenly available and the Troll SK that's been waiting for 50 minutes is passed over due to this delivery of hairy feet goodness? Feels classic.
