My fault too.
Back on the original point of the thread, I think some people that play this game will come off as jerks, arrogant, disagreeable, and other people won't. However, playing a class that can have a bigger impact on more players, such as a bard AE kiting a ton of mobs, is going to be noticed more often. Not all bards that AE kite are jerks, but some are. Be civil, give people the benefit of the doubt, and if they respond with malice, they probably aren't even worth your time any way. It's a darn computer game, there's already enough real life stress.
I've always felt that playing nice and going with my gut worked the best for me and made the least amount of enemies/greatest amount of friends on the server. Sometimes your goals and activities might interfere with others on the server, and if they do, see if you can work things out. Otherwise, what's the point of playing a game that involves relying on other people...unless you are one of those mentally disturbed people that enjoys making others feel sad for some reason (you probably have some real life issue to sort out).
However, nerfing classes based on a couple unruly players seems a little bit like overkill, even when it wasn't a classic nerf. Send tells to people you have disagreements with, be civil, and if they aren't civil, either ignore them or let others know about them with tangible evidence attached. Things catch up to dishonest or rude players.
