So you guys were leet, great. But let's not pretend that it hasn't always been the joke surrounding the average bard who spends more time afk than looking at the game. It was an ongoing joke just as the geo nowadays, unfortunately.
My 5-man group was doing SR the other night, shouted for a 6th, got a GEO. GEO would indi-haste and geo-vex in the middle of the platform and AFK. Indi-haste would run out towards the very end of the fight sometimes depending on who we got, and vex would get killed and never recast. Just two spells and AFK for an entire SR run. Once I noticed this happening we ended things.

The worst is when you try to explain/help them and they go full potato in 0.1s. I gave up.

Being an AFK Bard was great.
I used to put up my party seeking flag and go to sleep, just to see how many tella I got the next day.

Nah, one of my 5-man crew is working on his GEO dualbox, so that makes us 6. Then I get to make fun of him for not having an Idris on his alt for 6 months.
If you are one of those people who leveled get just to put bubbles out and sit there and do nothing you need to retire the job. I see this all too much and it frustrates me(someone who enjoys maining Geo). I see all these players who have there looping die so fat because they don't incorporate abilities into it. I see geos who just like to sit in cp parties cast bubbles and not nuke. I put damn near 50+M in my geo before idris which I'm still working on(stupid coalitions).
The people that are the ones doing this are the ones who leveled a simple job to try to get some other gear for other jobs I get that. But make sure you pull your own wait in co parties(I nuke for 30-50k on geo), reisen nm's also I can nuke then for around 30k on a Unresisted Magic burst my Geo isn't the best but I put work into every time I get on to make it good.
Tl;dr stop playing get if you don't put the time in to make it half decent carry your own wait as a player for your party.
Rant over sorry ffxiah forum people I just needed to say this
