XP penalty vs an XP bonus in grouping.

Since the EQ devs expected friends to play together, not just a bunch of lonely P99 neckbeards, they wanted to make sure those friends could level up together. It wouldn't be very fun if you and a RL friend started together, but soon couldn't play together because one of you made the mistake of picking a hybrid.

This isn't a bug or mistake, it's a deliberate decision to allow friends to play together.

It would be a mistake to have penalties or bonus' if that were the case. Stop trying to force some bullshit after-the-fact PR message to cover-up their mistakes.
