I have a BRD in my party and would not refuse a MCH either in the same spot. People that are kicking the new classes because they see 1 or 2 bad apples are only hurting themselves. I've seen MNK's do 200 DPS constant in Neverreap or BLM's that do lower dps then the tanks. All in all, bad players will be bad and the good ones will rise above all the challenges to break the expectations set by those that do not understand the class.
Your comment is spot on. Reminds me of FFXI's pre-Ranger buff; everyone was all over that class and disregarded anyone as lazy and selfish for not leveling it up due to its OP-ness, but once the nerf came around, they abandoned it fast and started labeling it as worthless.

Bear in mind, though people like burning down shit faster because the dungeons and raids get so mind-numbingly boring as fuck that I think just "get it over with" mentality creeps in despite best intentions.

To be honest, I just wanted to point out your sig......ah ma gawd....
