It's amazing though that we have such attachment to thsi game that we'll participate in events on jobs we don't like so we can gear the jobs we do.

The several jobs that didn't have a real place in aby--at least for long (brd, rdm, pld -- irony being that they were loved before then) and the jobs that weren't highly useful in aby, or useful at all outside of solo--blu, pup, bst still got played, just like the lolbst and lolpups were played before aby.

It's amazing to me sometimes how much attachment we develop that we still built our jobs though all that time even though noone ever wanted them. I came back after pld was of significant use in voidwatch. I'd Aegis pil sometimes but that was about it. I still built an aegis and ochain and ran around helping friends, using pld where it was sensible, although not optimal. (Chanspell safety on Pankrator).

Thieves, since the beginning of time, have known why get they invites, and it's not for dps, and it's not really about SATA as that's been subbable, yet there are plenty of mandaus and piecutters.

SE's sense of balance treats our jobs like crap, while always favoring a certain few (though it shifts a bit every few years and the princess jobs are sent to scrub the dishes).

And yet, we still play.
