Bards were never meant for PVP. I'm strictly speaking OSI standards and goals here. My only point was that PVM is not balanced the original way the game was coded. Anyhow, It's Majere's shard, he decides the balance.

Yes I have a tamer. I have a mage. I have a fighter. I have a bard. My account is 25 days old. Sadly the difference in money-accumulation between the skills are well aware to me.
