I'm seeing this a lot lately and I really don't know why. The Always on Mana Song Bards. I don't understand where it's coming from.

When I played bard around HW launch, kept getting told to play MP song. Could be they got told a lot too.

I had this happen to me when LotA first came out. Had a healer insist I play ballad full time for them. They didn't like it when I told them no.

Better than when they insist on playing the mana song and then tell me how much they're helping me. Ummmmm no, I got mana management myself, thanks.

At least they sing? I can't get a singing Bard to save my life in DF.

Sorry I missed your /t Malicewolf.... was having a fit of tourette's after a weeping city and stepped away for a few minutes.

Not enough Charmin Ultra for the wipeage I just experienced.

because I don't trust you and I rather deal less damage than die and start all over again.

And then you wipe us in a DPS check. Mana Song bards during Nidhogg's add phase while everyone is on healthy mana, perhaps someome under weakness and/or getting hit by that untankable dragon, and here we have our wipe. Thanks dude ._.

Seriously, play that Ballad of yours WHEN NEEDED.

[SahreeYurblu]

Oh boy. I'm Sahree... that I said anything about the mana song. LOL.

Bards can't ever catch a break. Damned if we don't play x song and damned if we do, lol.

There were far worse back in 2.0 before SE set up the "quit punishment and Vote Kick" and after as well.

I actually had some Tank players back in 2.X hold the entire group hostage because he did not want to run a dungeon with a new player as he said his "time was more valuable to deal with this **** new player" so he told us to kick him so he does not have to suffer the time penalty for quiting. Some Tanks did completely nothing when they saw a new player and said nothing so the group assumed he/she was AFK but in reality he/she was just sitting there hoping we would kick them for being AFK to avoid the Time punishment.

There was also the time when a Tank actually told us to Vote Kick the New Player because he was new.

It's people like that where I was we had a cross server blacklist that prevented those people from queueing with you. Not only would they eventually enjoy longer queue times, but would be greeted by their equally toxic peers.

TAKE NOTE SE! This right here, is a prime example of why we don't need a level skip option. People who have somehow cleared the content(most likely carried) and are well overgeared for it, still can't do it.

Sadly, this is actually further proof a jump potion won't matter. Those people had to go through the entire story, plus level at least one job all the way to 60, and they didn't once bother to learn how to play properly. Nothing you implement will ever convince them to learn unless the content is so hard, they can't actually do it.

It's the same with healers and tanks - whatever they do, someone just says they're doing it wrong ^^ Just... don't play an utterly unnesseccary song ^^'
