Dear All Bards,

[Saseal]

Don't really care if the boss will die 2 seconds faster because of Foe. As a bard I always leave without commendations either way. Songs or no songs - yep, a healer and a tank always get all comms..

*Hugs that particular ST group* 10/10 will derp my songs for them, again

^ Bards do get comms. o_O
I went, I sang my heart out, I talked between pulls and I came out happy because everyone else was happy. Comms are icing on the cake that I appreciate greatly.
Yeah, you're def not going to always get comms even for doing your job to your fullest - but sing, be merry anyway. People pick up on moods when someone is projecting one. Positivity usually meets or brings positivity if people are open enough, and you add a lasting effect that way. Enjoy the class knowing you're doing your damnedest - even if you find you're not acknowledged for it. You know what you did and you know it was awesome shit.
Like Areku said - Friendliness and empathy go a long way when you have a job or skills capable of giving to others - so give and give. 'Do unto others...'
If the healers don't need MP and a freshly raised melee doesn't need TP, Foes is not going to hurt you any... o_Oa
