Why are bards / Mechanists so... Sensitive? <_<

[Ramath]

Don't forget that most of these BRDs and MCNs are decent players. Not all, I know. But most of them play just as well, or better than any other DPS in the game. However, they are in the worst place ever all because SE screwed up. They didn't do anything wrong other than get excited about a job that SE failed to implement.

Yet, the other players around them seem to find it cool to cause issues to make themselves look/feel better...
...in a video game...
...over an issue they had no hand in creating...

I'll make fun of myself in dungeons, occasionally, but only after I've proven part way through that I'm doing a better job than my DPS counterpart. You're forgetting, OP, that you're making fun of someone for something that is completely out of their hands, and more importantly, out of your hands. It's not by any amazing ability on your part that SE make your job viable. On top of that, they are trying not to join the brainless bandwagon and only play the flavor of the month.

I find it particularly annoying when I come across people trying to rag on me for playing MCN while I'm currently out-playing them. Yet, just because they were too cowardly to try and play something other than the most broken OP job of the moment, they seem to think they have a free pass as being better than me. Sadly, I'm currently out parsing about half of the DPS I'm paired with. As much as I wish it was due to me being a good player, I can't deny the fact that it's almost always due to the fact that they truly and utterly suck. Yet these are the players who are most vocal about claiming to be better than my MCN...

...the MCN that is still alive at the end of the fight, and who passed the DPS check while they were kissing the dirt.
