Ok, I'm a little confused on this.. do Bards REALLY have a more difficult
time grouping?
I mean, my wizard friend whines constantly that wizards are not really
needed, druids have whined that nobody likes to group with them, even as a
shaman Ispend a lot of lonely nights.
So maybe its not that people don't want bards but its just that some nights,
its impossible for anyone to get a group? Or maybe not ?
