    My observations re: NIN on opposing side so far is they're squishy so fun & easy to kill with my Summoner. To be fair, the NIN skill set is new while I've been running SMN for months and in the occasional random 1v1 encounter against most classes I practically always come ahead.

    Observation re: NIN in my alliance- lowest score ever was when a premade decided to forgo Markets altogether and guard our OP along with 4 hidden NIN's. Seeing them stand there not doing anything each time I passed through to mid, and seeing the score distribution and point capture my I finally asked them what they were doing. Sure would have been fun for them to pull off but of little strategic value vs capping ands holding markets. Having a match doomed by a higher portion of alliance members who have priorities counterproductive to a first place win is why I resent GC-based queueing.

    This is incredibly annoying getting paired up with these nin's that internally sabotage the A or C team by trying to do B's job of protecting the OP just so that they can hide + SA or TA people. It weakens the overall combat capabilities of A and C and can make it harder for them to cap and keep their flags since they are constantly fighting a man or 2 short. In regards to facing off against them as a drg I have also found them to be incredibly squishy and easy to kill and have not been very impressed with the damage they put out on me the couple times I've run into a ninja in a one on one scenario but yeah that's probably because the job is so new and not entirely understood and mastered to optimize its dmg potential.

    I fully sympathize with this problem. I seem to get a lot of NINs in team A and C who decide to be lone-wolves and run straight to enemy OPs and try to ninja (pun not intended) them, only to lose them seconds later or down-right get ganked by respawning enemies before the deed is even done. Meanwhile we struggle to capture or hold a flag because we're short a person (or two). Then again, this has been happening even before the release of NIN, but now the behavior is almost encouraged.
