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.
Lol you have no idea. Not only will they discriminate based on that, they will also discriminate based on things like optimal race choice and at end game stat allocation. Most people wont take the dark elf warrior when there are a million ogres who cant be stunned.
