Why is it always so hard to find a group!

Hybrid exp penalty needs removed to help the situation as well.

A sad truth, some sad people refuse to group with hybrids... it grinds my gears [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

The GMs encourage people to group as much as possible, but they keep in ridiculously hybrid penalties for 3+ years. I really don't blame people for not wanting to group with hybrids. The penalty is just silly.

I the penalty know it's classic, but EQ is all about grouping with each other. At the moment the best way to level is soloing, hands down. There's no point to grouping with bards/sk/pallies, etc for xp. Sure, they might do a few more things slightly better than their counterparts, but when everyone in the group is getting considerably less xp, it's really just not worth it.

I think bards are the best main tanks in the game for XP groups. Unlike a Paladin, a bard can do so much for the group that I think they earn their penalty and low dps.

It's been said but start making groups, if they go smoothly people will start hitting you up asking for more chances to group.

A little intiative goes a long way and kudos to you for playing what you want even though it's a bit less convenient.

There is alot to be said for paladins. Some of the bbest groups I have had so far on P1999 are with paladins tanking. As a shaman they can give me extra hp and hold aggro without me having to root anything (at lv 47 at the moment). The exp penalty sucks, but the efficiency makes up for it imo!

Why does /who all lfg only work periodically?

I can dig for the patch note, but I'm pretty sure at this point in time it was added to classic/kunark eq.

Hoof it over to Kurns you'll be snapped up like a dingo after a baby!

How come everyone makes a stink when hybrids want to join group but never heard much about lizards wanting to join.

Isn't the penalty about the same?

From my understanding the hybrid penalty is shared with the group, but the race penalty is not. Not 100% sure but ya.

Anyway, I think pallies are great tanks. But if you're a min/maxer, meaning you want to level fast, there's no point in having a pally tank. Once hybrid penalty is removed then the tables will turn and no one will want warriors anymore.
