how does it feel to be rejected in raid party?

[Lyrai_Celestine]

There are two statements that are unreasonable, and two that are perfectly reasonable.

"MCH dps isnt great"
"We prefer BRD"

This is unreasonable because MCH still fits their role as the Ranged DPS, with a vulnerability up debuff even. You're not the only one though. BLMs and SMNs usually get the short end of the stick as well in a minority of groups; they just want RDM for its mobility and utility, while some prefer BRD for its superior supportive abilities.

"sorry, cant tag you along because we already have a BRD"
"SPOT is taken by a BRD sorry"

This is reasonable because another Ranged DPS has taken the slot. It is possible that an MCH had taken the spot as well. In a raid, we would desire only one Ranged DPS, so look for a group that has a free ranged DPS slot. When the above happens, just keep looking.

Nobody wants the blm, they all want red

Go look at top 10 dps for all savage. It's nothing but sam and blm with the occasional monk.

I got my O2S clear on BRD in a pug, alongside a SAM, BLM, and MCH. Honestly, I believe MCH deserves some buffs but clearly they shouldn't be blocked out of parties when they can clear just fine even in a non-optimal comp. In the case of a static, either a BRD or MCH taking the ranged position should be fine. Just keep looking for parties - players that block out specific classes usually aren't worth playing with anyway.

That's because they already have a SAM or a MNK, since BLM's damage is on par with them

Kinda true - most of them lack in skill themselves trying to hide their inexperience by overkill dps and phase hooping. You know it's always easier to point mistakes and weakness on others than on yourself.

edit: had a nice experience yesterday in this regards...

I was asked through a LS to help some random to get his Lakshmi clear – np joined as smn cause both healer spots were already taken. The random one who needed the clear was a Mnk, let's call him "John Doe". The mixed up grp was easily able to get that clear, so far so good. But just after the clear the lovely John Doe opened up a pf to farm accessories – guess what? smn/sch/mch were locked out in his own farm party. ^^ – so leeching clears by others is totally okay (no matter which cls') but than they don't wanna see you ever again höhö - nice community indeed.

as long as the jibs are nit balanced and there still +/- one meta..

is as long as some jobs will still have issues.., as blm was kicked out of a party just as it filled, ti be replaced by a rdm..., same would have happened to me as smn..

I can feel the mch

My static went in blind on our first week of raiding and downed O1s and O2s with a MCH, DRG, and a SCH in our group. It can be done with "non-viable" jobs so long as you do your part, are competent, and your team works well together. Unfortunatly a lot of people playing at being hard core tend to not understand that. Hang in there!

[Crewman]

As OriWhitedeer mentioned, this is why a static tops the PF any day. The PF is full of people who have no patience for anything but "clear it as fast and easily as possible". You pay for the game, it's your money and your character to do as you please. All of this content can be done with any job regardless of efficiency, so a static of people you know and that will support you is the best thing you can do for yourself. Get to know each other, strengths and weaknesses, address issues and fix problems to get the clears.
