Of course, us bards, sometimes get 'Play mana' of 'Switch to end' requests. At least I do (and many, if not most times, for a reason also...). Sometimes it annoys me, most times I couldn't care less, and do as Im asked to, because it is the smart thing to do.
As a bard I am an aid to the group (still does in no way make me less important...). I can taxi, I can heal, I can keep the tanks tanking and the casters casting (and stronger healers (=druids) healing). Also, in no small part I have the best crowd control ability of all the classes in Hibernia, which can many times mean survival (or death...) for the whole group. And, if needed, I still CAN pick up a sword or mace and join in on a fight (not to even mention the DD shout...).
I bet the bard is Hibernia's 'Most Wanted' in groups, judging by the number of requests I get to groups, although I can't even begin counting the number of times, when in a situ if I had played my char a bit better (or differently) our entire group hadn't been wiped out. Of course, there are also close situs, where I have most probably saved the whole group.
But... point being... if you get annoyed by some people's behaviour towards you in a group, as a bard, Im sure it is a piece of cake for you to find another group you can join. Keep in mind though, that after about around lvl10 (if not before...), soloing is really no option for a bard: you need a group just as much as a group needs you.
As said a happy and good bard rocks PvE, the same happy and good bard gets slauthgetered on the battlefield againts the other realms..
Alb or mid group
[group] Scum 1: Ok all, go for the bards first no matter what!
[group] Scum 2: Ok
[group] Scum 3: Ok
I want some means of defence..
Still I hope Mythic decides to throw ALL (incl Mid and Alb) of the supportclasses a bone for the endgame (especially the Naturalists since that starting class is the worst in the game more or less)
