Exp Penalty Shunning

[garfo]

Do yall really think that people will actively not invite someone to join a group due to exp penalties? That seems to be a big "given" around here when discussing the pros and cons of each class, but in my experience on p99 none of the playerbase is picky at all when it comes to group formation. Granted, this is on blue where exp penalties are long gone and just about everyone is on the 7th alt, but still -- i can't imagine someone a group not letting someone in because they're a paladin instead of a warrior, or not taking a bard, etc?
