It may not be outright refusal to RP with, but it certainly sounds like there is a substantial resistance to the very idea. Unless, perhaps, one plays a Dragoon who is not really a Dragoon (i.e. an Ishgardian Lancer without the jumping ability).
I've never even seen a Dragoon RPer, but it just rubs me the wrong way that the very idea is treated so derisively and with such ridicule. People should be able to play one if they want without having their most basic capability brought into question (something no other job seems to be faced with).
The key to combating it is to not give a shit O__O
And if someone wants to know -why-, there's no problem with that, really! I devoured every bit of lore on monks I could and even tapped into the reference of the seven chakras to give Berrod an entire system of power to work with -- that way I can explain HOW and WHY he does what he does in detail. It's only natural for some people to want to know how DARGOONZ work regarding their jumps!
