Subject: RE: [eqbards] Why did you start a Bard?


Course, now I've learned that if a group is "adequate", they'll not want to
add more members

*** I was in one of these just the other night. We had pickup group with a
17 Wiz, 16 cleric, 15 druid, and 15 rogue (me). A 17 monk wanted in and
the druid protested saying the XP would be split too thin. No one else in
the group agreed with him and I'm happy to report the monk got in.

Grouping with that druid gave me knew insight into what sort of people
might worship the yellow bar:

1) When he discovered he needed to sell he did a "/g Gotta go sell. Bye."
and disbanded during a pull.
2) He announced later "/g I'm leaving as soon as I ding, just so you know."
3) He asked "/g Is it ok if I work on my 2hb skills? I won't be hitting
for much." Which prompted me to /tell a friend and groupmate "Is it OK if
I go work on my swimming skills?"
4) He would "/g Get it off me" when down one bubble and only made a serious
attempt to pull of another groupmate if it was the wizard and the wizard
was very badly hurt. (Why not the cleric? The cleric had better armor
than him)

In closing: he was an @$$&*(#$.

To his credit, at one point someone trained on us VERY deliberately and he
got two of the red mobs attention and ran them clear of the group before
zoning.

I've not spent much time with Atonal lately. I just don't have the time to
dedicate anymore to 60% group hunting, 20% travel, and a measly 20% doing
what I want...grouped and fighting. I'd join my guild mates...if the
lowest
didn't outlevel me by about 15 levels.

*** I know the feeling. My bard is currently between guilds, and trying to
get her into one (Aegis Wolves, if you've heard of them) is proving
extremely difficult because I can never find a guild member on under level
30.

Peace
