What's with all the druids?

[rikustrength]

Seriously, they were about the most unpopular class on live at any given time... So, why is it that it seems like there are TONS of them here? Do people just finally realize how good they can be? Or is it that they're a reasonable easy solo class? Cuz I know for a fact that to play a grouping druid the right way, it isn't at all easy. Switching carelessly between nuking and healing IS easy, and sometimes thats all it is. But a really good druid can fall into whatever niche their group needs at any moment's notice. A really good druid is a really REALLY hard class to play.

So what gives? O-o Should I just expect to see a lot of clueless druids running around as I level up? I don't mean this as a stab at anyone, truthfully the only other druids in game I've met seemed intelligent so far. I guess I'm just worried is all. I so loved playing a druid on live, I just feel afraid I'll get lost in the sea of them here, and I'de be comforted to know the reason they're so popular is that people are playing them well and not that they're sitting in a corner soloing all the time. In other words, I'll have a lot more fun trying to be as good as a high standard than I will trying to prove I'm the only one who isn't a total retard (aka classic live).
