WHY ARE YOU PLAYING A BARD IF YOU'RE NOT GOING TO SING?!

Because, for the 50th time in this thread, that is their JOB. It is not my responsibility to tell you what song to play. It is their job to assess the situation at hand and choose the best song for said situation, just like it is for healers to use the most efficient healing skill for the situation instead of "LOLMEDICA2! BARD!! BALLAD ME!!!!". BRD DPS rotation is incredibly simple, and the challenge that comes with using a BRD is managing your songs. "What if they forgot? Or don't pay attention sometimes?" What if a healer forgets to heal, or doesn't pay attention? What if a tank forgets how to tank? It's not SE's fault for making a hybrid. If you choose to play BRD, then part of that role is to support when needed. That's like a PLD that doesn't want to tank but picked it because it's the only "sword class". On top of that, there's also the all-too-common "don't tell me how to play" players whenever you communicate with them.
