cause everyone has a 3-4 song harp and a relic horn horn and everyone else in the group plays flawlessly, right?
I'd love to hear why a 2song bard would do anything besides double march in a plasm pug run.
90 Daurdabla is hard
And there are plenty of fights that require bard swapping for clears and whatnot, so even if you're terrible enough to be an active bard that
still doesn't have a 90 DDB, madrigal merits are downright necessary
Daurdabla is both rare, and now hard [read: very time consuming] to get hold of. BRDs were rarely used at all through the Abyssea years, so only career BRDs built them. VW was proc spam, and 2 songs were more than enough for even the most gimped PUG. Legion/Meebles/NNI was a minor call for the odd BRD again.
Now SoA has rekindled the mass need for BRDs, those of us who just kept the levels and skills up can do fine with two songs, and other easily accessible gear.
If you have regular access to Dauby BRD - good for you, but currently they are like Rocking horse sh*t.
Still think it's easy to go and make a Dauby now? Well good luck camping the souls against the swarms of people who want to build/finish their Ochains, 'cos that system hasn't been broken since conception.
But hey, maybe you are right... and we'll soon see a flood of 90+ Dauby BRDs flooding into SoA.
