I remember back in live how awesome it was when a bard joined the party, all the cool shit the bring to the table and all. I mean I can understand it, why sit through slow group exp when you can just like nearly ding in one swarm kite pull. I get that. Ah, I don't know, that bard song box, where the bard song effects go, haha I think I've seen bard effects in that box like twice or three times the whole time I've played, and one of those times was asking a bard who was traveling through the karanas if I could hitch a ride autofollow style. I'm not knocking the class or anyone who plays it, I dig the bard I just miss grouping with them. It really does seem like the bard is the most rarest class to join a group, well it seems that way to me anyway.
1. They AE kite to at least the high 40s or low 50s.
2. Then they get hit a wall in AE kiting and have to group for XP, but are terrible at their class because all they did for the last 51 levels is AE kite.
3. No guild will take them because they earn a reputation as a terrible Bard who can't pull for shit and only knows how to AE kite (easy as fuck to do, a chimp can do it).
4. Then they notice how slow XP is in groups compared to AE kiting, and ragequit and sell their character.

^ The above scenario describes 90% of Bards experiences on P99
