I don't care if all BST players aren't as retarded as the ones I run into, but I've met so many assholes that play the job, that they've just ruined the job for me and now I'm just automatically happy anytime anything bad is announced for BST.
Because that's a mature attitude.

Also, how do you know how they were geared? Maybe they were a perle wearing PLD? The main point remains, anyone can be a prick in this game, and their job has nothing to do with that.

Just ask any career BST who had their exp camps invaded by normy parties back in the day (despite setting their search to indicate their camp location, something us BSTs used to do to help not waste the time of another BST that might travel to that camp and find it occupied, clearly we are all pricks), you think those people cared about the lowly BST? No, because there were so few they didn't need to care. They would not do that to another party, at least not often, but it happened regularly to BSTs.

I'm a very well geared BST, I even waste inventory on my charm set hoping one day I might be able to play my job again in some semblance of its original style. I've been playing the job for about 8+ years now. We finally have ONE THING we can say we are good at, and everyone wants to take that ONE THING away because, ironically, NON-BSTs are exploiting it.....usually the same people who get some sort of twisted joy out of bashing BSTs, which is not a new thing, its been happening for the entirety of the game's existence.

Which is why I find this all both absurd and amusing at the same time. Before the dynamis change, we were gimps that should be overlooked in any end game content. Now, just because of one thing, we are suddenly overpowered and need to be nerfed, when in reality the job has not changed at all, dynamis changed. My BST is stuck at 96 because I just use it for fun anymore and to play around with my Octave club. We're so incredibly overpowered that I almost never use my favorite job in favor of my other, more useful options....

Find something more rational to be mad about. Despite my top notch gear and love of the job, I actually farm dynamis as THF, and I get by just fine regardless of how many BSTs are around. Not sure what everyone else's problem is.
