I've permanently solved The Wanderer's Minuet problem...

I'm not able to understand why people always are told that they should get good, just because they don't like Bard's new play style. I mean, many people who chose to play bard in the past did so due to the mobility that is now almost completely gone (if they don't want to lose damage).

I always loved ranged DPS classes, so I main BLM. But I also loved to play Bard now and then, it felt like it was the complete opposite of my main class and so I had some variation when playing.
Personally, I don't really care about the changes since I'm fine with being immobile and, thus, I'm used to it. But, more important, most of the bards aren't and they are forced into a play style they haven't chosen back then.

It is a developers' decision, so there's not much we can do. I just find it a little sad how many bards have lost interest in their old job.
