It's actually awesome to find someone else who also played Dragoon as their main, including right through the leaner times before Treasures of Aht Urhgan came along and made piercing damage a thing that was cherished and awesome against Colibri. I still play XI myself, and still main DRG as well.
The DRG community on Midgard was awesome, and most likely the main reason I ended up sticking with it for so long, the funny thing about ToAU for me was that I was levelling BLM at the time and hit 58 right as it came out.. So I went from being highly wanted for groups, to almost useless once again . I ended up being a BLM healer from 60-73 in melee burn PTs before being able to move on to puddings.
As for the prejudice thing, I don't intend it to be full on racism, just a distrust and wariness due to a past experience that I've outlined in a topic that was thankfully moved to the right area by a mod . It probably won't last long, as I'm thinking of having the Midland boy in the story becoming either Ustarte's companion (if we still get them in 2.0) or her retainer.
And having a Elvaan DRG in XI made me pretty much accustomed to racism and job discrimination in-game, I swear half the time I was referred to by outsiders as loldrg or {Dhalmel}.
