Dear All Bards,

[OMEGA_HACK]

So glad this thread is here...I was in a party doing WoD last night as SCH, there was a majority of Bards in the alliance out of the DPS roles (8 iirc) and all of them were auto-attack AFKing...

WHAT. THE. $%#@ING. HELL.

I know that bards are kind of notorious for this as its easy to forget a bard lost in the back corners of the battlefield...hiding from everyone's view...but seriously don't want to play? Fine...don't play! Let another one of the much better than your auto-attack playing DPS characters queue up as they actually want to clear the content and get loot!

Oh, I should note that I know for a fact they were AFKing as throughout the whole fight I cast Raise (mainly on them) 48+ times, as I didn't start counting right away. Needless to say we RAN OUT OF TIME on WoD...because there was no DPS...Thanks you $%#@ing #$%@s...

If you haven't done this than my Public Service Announcement doesn't affect you, but if you have done this...SHAME ON YOU!

SHAME ON YOU!

Almost became one of these, and I actually started to understand these people, but no excuse to them of course. Why I was doing WoD as bard? Not because I like those fights (first 10 runs were ok, but after that it became just boring). The reason is simple - I needed that BiS bard body. And I couldn't get it doing WoD since it was introduced in game. How much time passed? 3 months? So after I recently finally got it, you most likely never see me on bard in WoD.

Of course this can't be an excuse for afk bards (any job actually) there, it's just one possible reasoning why they do this.
