Bard questions.

For the said Bards that i do know, yes i can speak for them as they do not like forums one bit. I talk to them, and i really do not need your permission to post.
All i said was many of the top Tier Bards love it and that they have better things to do like raiding then posting on forums.
I really do not care if any believe me just like some of you do not seem to care about posting false claims of Bard being "broken".
Like others have said until there is a Poll out, one cannot say for sure majority hates it, or majority likes it.

As for cast times, i like it and how much damage Wm brings, and i actually play blm and used to play smn as well so cast times are nothing new to me, cast times are very much different on both classes.
Perhaps the premise behind adding cast times was to take a class that has the most utility and was faceroll easy and make it a bit more challenging?
Because Bard was one of the easiest classes to play. Regardless of the why they went that route it is here to stay you can either adapt to the new playstyle, not use Minuet at all or maybe level another class?
There are choices
