"This is my playstyle" is a poor argument for being bad.

Had 2 bards yesterday in nevereap and none of them wanted to use wanderer's minuet. But they sure as hell used foe requiem on every monsters they could see even though we did not have any magical dpsers. I mean, I understand WM isn't their favorite skill right now, but a 50 minutes run in nevereap is never a good thing.

So yeah, I agree with op.

Foe was probably for the healer, who should have been dpsing for sure if possible with the bards being that bad.

Not playing WM was probably because the bards wanted to "stick it to the man", let SE know they don't like it, by screwing their group over while SE will never even know the situation happened, making their efforts or lack thereof for nothing. Which is a subset of bad because plenty of bards are doing fine with WM. If they don't want to use WM, they should learn to play another job. Continuing to play BRD but refusing to use WM is like a BLM refusing to use any Fire skill, bad bad bad.
