I think the point is situational awareness means a lot to a class that has a large utility belt such as bards, necros, and rangers. Two of those three have a large xp penalty. Two of those three get groups. The two in the first statement and the two in the second statement are not the same. Why? Because situational awareness is key and a lot of the times if you're not doing everything you can in a group the xp penalty that everyone incurs doesn't think it is worth it.
So, with that said, not using a set of very useful tools in a fashion that allows you to break camps, pull nameds past a slough of mobs, etc in outdoor areas as well as some indoor areas, CC mobs of any sort, and still pump out decent DPS and sometimes even tank... well... I wouldn't want that person in my group either.
