You know, some people level other things besides BRD and they happen to enjoy playing those jobs too. Possibly, they enjoy it even more than BRD and have put tons more work into being that job and consider that thier priority main.
Now, its no secret that BRDs are popular, wanted and loved. A surefire way to get someone to hate being a BRD is to want them too much and think you're entitled to a BRD every waking moment of the day. Unbeknowst to some people, BRDs have lives, too, and they do not wish to merit every insipid moment there isn't an endgame LS event.
Really, I'm a COR and I'll tell you right now your EXP buffer is your problem. If you want to flip the merit point switch on the moment you hit 20k, there's nothing a BRD or I can do to stop you, however, the last thing either of us want is for you to come after us the moment you've come close to delevelling and losing access to your merits and/or elite endgame gear.
First off, you lazy bums need to cap your EXP when we are around. Full 43,999/44,000 buffer or GTFO. This way, when you start losing EXP, there's still quite a ways til you get close to delevelling. After that, all you need is a couple Campaigns or Besiegeds or, hell, some EXP scroll quests or even Campaign Ops to patch your little booboos up. I swear, I do this all the time to keep my RNG capped, it works.
Second of all, if you still need a BRD that badly for anything, start levelling one for yourself. Seriously, these days it only takes even the most crap-tastic BRD a few weeks to get to 75. I doubt you'll miss that much endgame doing this and you'll have a BRD for endgame, merits and for your linkshell.
Feel good, bask in the love of your linkshell... eventually, the love will annoy the shit out of you. You will lose your name, people will start to refer to you as "The Bard" and then they'll forget you have other main jobs that you have worked really hard on. They'll forget because they don't need to level BRD themselves, they just need yours.
Endgame linkshell leaders and sackholders should consider levelling BRD especially. Somehow, you guys fortunately get to come as what you want because you can flash that pearlsack around. But if you're really that dedicated to the morale of your LS members, you would let them have opportunities to shine at other jobs they happen to enjoy besides thier BRD. You can share the load by playing BRD or other roles.
That would be nice and then maybe people wouldn't regret the fact they levelled BRD, they wouldn't leave it off thier linkshell applications, subconsciously disregard it as a "main job" or accidentally have it killed by goblins several times in Cape Terrigan, moving it as far from 75 as they can.
So please, level BRD or don't make demands of them. You are never entitled to someone else's BRD.
And remember: Flutes can be forcefully shoved in rather unpleasent places. Tread carefully.

). Though personally, I rather not have brds in my parties or the advocates for them. It just ruins the party half the time when it comes to camps. Oh, lets not forget brd advocates who level pld stating, "Pld is not a merit job." "Good luck on your buffer then, don't say I didn't offer!" <.<; Every single time I look for a pld rofl. Or when they are on their merit jobs, "Do you have a bard? No bard, no merits." >_>;
