 |   I've never paid enough attention to the exp bar to actually notice if there's even a difference when I'm grouped with a hybrid. To be honest I can't even really tell.  Admit it, it's all in your head! If you are obsessing over small percentiles of experience, you need to do yourself a favor and lighten up.

 |   Over the weekend I was in a group that refused to grab another person because it was a hybrid, I thought it was ridiculous but I was outnumbered so I couldn't really do anything but blacklist the people in my group. If I remember correctly we didn't even have a hybrid in the group yet so it wasn't like we were going to be stacking penalties. I guess some people just take this game too seriously. | ||

 |   The server is full of min-maxers, hence the group penalty sharing potentally hurts hybrids even more. :P

 |   People that are obsessed with minimizing the flavor of a character, while maximizing it's 'uberness'. Not in a good way. they're the guys that get all butt-hurt over which race is best for a shaman, regardless of what race you may prefer for aesthetic reasons. | ||

 |   Nothing wrong with min-maxing. If I want to play a game based on creativity and story I'll look into D&D, whitewolf, or other tabletop games. I play EQ to be the most efficient genocidal killer I can be, watch stat numbers go up, and get better gear. I just don't really consider EQ to give the ability to do anything but kill mindlessly for hours on end, the only real challenges being presented by the ineptitude of fellow players. I mean really, how many freaking days can you roleplay, "We're in Ass/sup yet again, smiting the evil frog ghouls". Especially if you did it on live 10 years ago. I group with like-minded players, and we have fun doing crazy stuff that most groups our level are not able to. I'm the person who likes to solo the crazy mobs that take most people a group to kill, or group up with another player and do challenging things that we probably weren't intended to do. That attracts me to game-breaking classes like bard and doing things like swarm kiting 50 mobs in the planes. I play with my own goals in mind, and those usually dont involve grouping with 4 lobotomized hybrids who all somehow fail to grasp eq's challenging mechanics of, "press autoattack" and watching my exp dwindle to nothing. | ||

 No offense, just an observation and opinion. WoW is a good game too, for people that like that sort of thing. As for you liking the challenge of doing the hard stuff, I can respect that. | |||
