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

[Eidolon]

Why would you insult the person who plays you Ballad, OP? ._.

My mains are Dragoon and Warrior, my immortality is attatched solely to my ability to pop Bloodbath, Second Wind, and Keener Flurry \o/

I dunno, I don't find it insulting, but I've also entered into dungouns where the first words out of peoples mouthes are "Oh hey guys, no worries, we have a dragoon to tank the floor for us." Personally in my eyes, I don't see any issue with teasing the other jobs. XD But I suppose I can see a number of people's points here - that it's hard to tell it's teasing/playing with a neutral tone of the internet.

Still, I think people are just -way- too sensitive.

Well you're not everyone else. Your humour isn't the same as everyone elses.
If you know Job's are in hell right now, telling a lame joke like
that to people whom you know not of, is bad.
Just be a little more mindful y'know?

But your forum thing says your main is Conjurer... o.o"

Heh, relic from a past life :3 In 2.0/2.1 I was main-heals, White Mage and Scholar, but I wound up quitting the job altogether because of raid drama and static abuse when it came to T5 (Raiding, not fun on a healer when you get blamed even when you pull all the stops.)

After that, I switched to Warrior and Dragoon, though I also took to mastering the other jobs. :3 The only ones I'll say I'm not great at are Summoner and Monk, respectively. I suppose I should fix my Job description for the sake of continuity, but it just never really occured to me until you mentioned it. x3

@Ulyssess -
I'd never genuinly kick anyone. I've actually only ever kicked one Mechanist, and that was because they spammed LB the moment the bar was full to create that oh-so-grating "LB Activated" sound. Personally, if they gave it more than a few seconds, they'd probably realise it was light-hearted jab. And that's really why I find it so baffling.

I understand what your saying and I don't mean you specifically when I refer to the kicks BRD/ MCH get, and of course there are always those types that deserved to be kicked out of stupidity. With that being said, all the BRDs and MCHs are already well aware of the class "under-performing" and adding insult to injury by making the "Ew Bard" comment doesn't help the case in the slightest.

I have run into the sarcastic comments on a daily basis, and I'm not bothered by it, but I can't speak for everyone in the community.

"Oh hey guys, no worries, we have a dragoon to tank the floor for us."

Guess what, it's hard to tell tone through text. That sounds more like an obvious joke than just plain "Ew bard" - which frankly doesn't sound like a joke at all on it's own.

Context. You don't know these people, if it's a friend they're obviously going to know you're joking, but a random stanger? ESPECIALLY when brds and mchs are getting kicked simply for playing the job they like.

Maybe they had a bad day or had already been kicked from a party once. No need for "jokes" that probably no one except you is going to find funny.
