I don't see this as much of a motivation to be insulting to BSTs when they do what they're good at.

The condescension appears to be on a efficiency-only level, as opposed to a generic distaste for the person.

The reason why people look down on BSTs is probably one of the most basic human emotions:

Greed.

They perceive (correctly or not) you to be taking their valuable experience and get irritated. (Not to mention, you are one person taking experience points near to what a party might, which makes you appear to be particularly gluttonous)

Taking such a negative attitude back (as Sevenpoint has pointed out) is only likely to magnify it.

Many tanks to Trita/Tagi for the signature.
