A combination of two things.
#1 - Players are generally not good. As an example, most Shamans go Barbarian and then gear their character like a Druid (facepalm) and have no understanding of their class.
#2 - Bards do SO much in a group that it makes your group-mates look even worse. As a Bard, I'm getting 3-4 mobs locked down on mezz even though our Ranger or Pally puller could root park adds easily. I'm snaring runners even though we have 2 other classes in the group that can snare. I'm doing fair DPS meleeing and actually assisting the MT. I'm interupting spell casters even though that big race in our group can slam or Knight could bash interupt. Meanwhile, my mana song, heal song, or haste song hasn't dropped for one tick the entire time. Now, compare that amount of work to the average EQ player: A Druid in your group that's putting his DoTs on a mob that stays alive for 15 seconds, not snaring runners, who you have to remind to refresh DS, etc.

I'm a bard, and I find it hard to believe that you're mezzing 3 targets, playing mana song, heal song, and haste song AND slowing mobs... without anything dropping. You have to tab target mez each one individually, and they each count as a song in a 4-song twist.
Bards can do a lot, but I thinks youza have anodder bard in das group.
