Bard

I can't think of the last MMO I played that bard wasn't a bow user, so I don't see how you are so surprised.

So I guess you've never played Final Fantasy XI.

I did. Not long. I was in Japan pon its release and played it untill about 3 months after the NA release. I did not recall if bards were incapable of using a bow at all in the game. To be honest though, FFXI is the exception and not the rule.

Well, this is a FF MMO, so when talking about the expectations of what BRD should be doing, FFXI is much more relevant than, say, Dark Age of Camelot.

I'm not saying that I personally have a problem with Bardcher (I don't really care either way), but the people who object to that combination have a valid point, I think.
