This is so true because it's funny:

This was posted by Ringthree in the general forums as a response to a suggestion that RDM be nerfed. It amused me ^^ At least someone appreciates how busy we are.
You can't nerf RDM's. It takes a "special" kind of person to be an RDM. By high levels they have all basically gone insane with having to do everything at once. If you were to do anything to upset the carefully constructed balance of high-level RDM's you would likely have a whole population of players going absolutely nuts. Not from the nerf mind you, but from the fact that the world that they have created to have some sort of stable sanity would be utterly destroyed.
For example, do you know what goes through a RDM's mind when you say "Refresh Please."? It is a psychic shock for them, murder is their first reaction. Then they will think "You stupid meat shield, you will die for this infraction upon my sensibilities!"
The heavens will rain down upon those that ever question the timing of dispel.
These people live on the edge between sanity and insanity, reason and psychotic episodes. If you ever interrupt the "refresh, dispel, refresh, gravity, refresh, OH CRAP CURE, debuff, nuke, refresh, OH CRAP CURE, dispel refresh" cycle, you my find that they Red Mage's armor will be red because it is stained with your own blood.
This is coming from a dragoon, but my roommate is a red mage, and over the last few months I have witnessed this downward spiral, this decent into the mad. And I fear the consequences of a change into their well regimented lifestyles.
