Dragoon Discrimination has to end

[Chessala]

Just to make this clear: I do not play Dragoon and I am not intending to. However, my OH mains Dragoons and I have noticed quite a few things recently:

- When a Dragoon in the party doesn't die, they ACTIVELY try to kill it to make jokes
- If the Dragoon dies ONCE (while others have multiple times), watch the Dragoon jokes
- Jokes fly before the fight has even started.
- Actively hindering them to dish out good DPS just to moan about how little DPS they do.

It's not funny anymore even if YOU chuckle over your own jokes. Trying to kill a player by turning mobs onto them (when clearly not avoiding AOEs) or making sure they get certain AOEs when jump locked is not fair towards the players.

Yes, there are many bad Dragoons but there are just as many bad Bards, Monks, Paladins etc. It's actually getting sickening to a player that is not even playing the class so something is wrong here.

Yes it's a bit silly and got too old of a joke. You have to be really naive and like dad jokes to still use Dragoon jokes or find them funny. There was indeed a time when the begun that due to low magic resistance and high latency from servers too a toll to Dragoons but this is long ago fixed. Guss it will not be funny to joke about healers whwn they die or tanks or any other dps. It's just a too old joke which is not even funny anymore.

Playing with a jerk will result in them acting like a jerk, regardless of what jokes are there to be made.

My SO is also a DRG, he makes fantastic DRG jokes. (When fighting Oppressor and oppressor 0.50 he died and said '' It's ok guys, I'll tank 0.25!'' 0.25 = the floor )
Roll with it... ignore stupid people. Be more awesome next time.

I have yet to see this happening after maining DRG from beta to 2.5. And never heard or seens anyone being actually bullied because of his class. The only time I see anyone kill someone out of fun is because they're fooling around regerdless of class. Though the joke when they die is still there. I do believe the reason it's still here is due to the influx of new dragoon mains that switched due to it being the HW theme which added a larger portion of bad players.

I agree.

Our server is 99% Japanese speaking community, so these jokes haven't reached us. I've never heard one during the game.

But, I see the jokes so often on this forum and, to tell you the truth, I don't really understand them. I've never noticed Dragoons in my parties being any worse (or better) than other players. So, I don't really understand the joke.

It seems like a weird thing to discriminate about.

If anything I see more Dark Knights and Ninja's screwing up the most.

I admit, I've been one to crack jokes about dragoons. Then again, I'm in voice chat with friends most of the time so they do not pop up in party chat.

They know I'm not being serious though, and we've met some amazing dragoons. But we still see others just randomly dying, so it does very little to disprove the stereotype :/

Why kill one of the funniest jokes in FFXIV? I'd rather keep it.
