Because this is supposed to be a game of dependency and socialness not a game of solo isolationism like live turned into. Same reason boxing isn't allowed. Group up no penalty easy fix.

I agree 100% that EQ is a MMO primarily about grouping yet other classes have the ability to solo but only pet classes are penalized. Why is this?
Druids can solo quite effectively, so why aren't they being penalized for soloing? The same argument can be make for twinks, I see them in Oasis all the time and most of them refuse to group.
Personally, I hate soloing but in P1999 many players just refuse to group, so I solo not because I want to but because out of necessity. This has the effect of making pet classes who can solo more popular.
To this day, I have still not found a valid argument from SOE (Alan VanCouvering, Rich Waters) as to why there is a pet experience penalty.
