Why so much animosity toward Dragoons?

[o3o]

Its just the sea of horrible dragoons ruining it for the good ones.

every game has a class with the highest consentrations of DERP in it, just happens to be dragoon in this case.

I remember when I ran prae with another DRG that had a relic and some pieces of darklight, while back in that time I had my garuda weap and majority of my AF gear still.
We're at Ultima Weapon and I kept hearing some sound, and I'm like "the fuck is that"
That dragoon kept spamming ring of thorns.
I don't think he was using any rotation at all...
But I was so proud that I did better with someone with a relic.

For 1 good drg you find 9 horrible.

I saw how all drg in Ifrit HM can't avoid the charges, dying 2 or 3 times in a row. At the end, they get his weapon without help us to killing the primal.

Then we started coil, drg dying caduceus cleave or backslash. Do you know what gear drop the chest? drg x2. A sad facepalm.

The MNK comments.. lol.. my group has gotten far more MNK gear than DRG.. that RNG

Come to Lamia, we'll love you long time.

On my server in Mordonna you will see many shouts for WP/AK runs or Coil with the caveat added No Dragoons! Maybe people on Hyperion have had more time to learn to play the job right, but on Midgard we tend to shy away from non known dragoons due to dps/derp issues.

A lot of players from Hyperion are from version 1.xx including myself. Wasn't really a DRG or MNK is better debate because everyone wanted BLM's in parties. 1.xx had very situation based fights. For one place a DRG would be better like quickly taking Princess down in Cutter's Cry, or Monks using Fists of Fire on Mizer's Mistress in Aurum Vale.

At least on Hyperion and maybe other Legacy servers, I don't ever see a "No DRG!" in people's shouts. Only time I see a DRG or a MNK excluded is if the team already has melee DPS, or if they want particular jobs like BLM/BRD in WP for AoE.

OP, I just have this to say about all the Dragoon hate

[Judge_Hellboy]

Well, 24% of DDs are Dragoon, therefore it stands to reason that a large percentage of the bad DDs you encounter will be DRGs. That and it is much easier to spot a bad DRG over say.. a bad SMN (if you've never played either class) so they are highlighted even more.

I think mostly it's pple who just joins the DRG sucks or biased against anyone who plays DRG bandwagon because they don't want to be the so called "outcasts". It's a trend, if you hear loldrg or drg sucks etc.. pple just go with it. But the truth is every job has crappy players, pple that join the drg hate bandwagon are just more vocal about it. DRG is a melee dps so it's "easier" to see when one sucks because it's right infront you. But i guarantee you there are alot of BLMs/SMNs/Healers that suck just as bad but the only reason you dont hear about how much they suck is because it's "harder" to see because they are in the backlines. Anyways, point is every job has crap players, pple can keep thinking loldrg or drg sucks, lucky on Hyperion we don't have too many of these haters.

Will be hard to hide when someone makes a DPS meter when Add On's come into the game.
