Thing is, that XP parties aren't always the villian in the 'Pt vs Bst' debates. People say pts don't like Bst because they get the same exp solo or because you 'play a game of risk' or whatever, well it could be because way back when a Bst screwed them over first.
I had a PT in the basement of GC, a common area for Bsts, Pts and high lvls looking for items, where we were pulling bats and beetles near the stairs. Then a Bst+Brd duo came along and started fighting Bats and beetles too. Our pt never said anything to them, never fought with them and weren't even near where they *initially* camped. But slowly they started coming over to us, and slowly *they* started fighting near *us*. This was before the MPK patch days too so any AoE their mobs used would hit us.
It was already pretty crowded there so pulls were kind of slow, but our PT *never* intentionally pulled their pets. But because they were pting right near our PT, when our puller went out to grab a bat he must have saw one they released as we got no exp for one of the kills. Next thing we know they started releasing their bats on our PT while we were fighting. They never said anything to us, never asked us to not pull XXX mob, never even tried to get us to move. They just started trying to MPK us.
We were there first, they came over to us and they tried to get us to move. Sound similar? It should, because this is exactly what bsts in this topic are complaining about. Completely forgetting how easy the situation can be reversed. Ever think perhaps people don't like Bst because a Bst pissed off the people first?
And this I just found to be quite ironic:

A solo job complaining about other people trying to solo now? I solo all the time and I'm not a Bst, I just go where EXP pts don't and never had a problem. I lvled my NPC to 46 with a lvl 50 job duoing DC mobs, it was slow but sure, and never ran into a Bst OR exp pt in the places I went.
One last thing, it's not the job that defines someone, it's the person themselves. An ass is an ass is an ass whether they lvl Bst, Brd, War, Mnk, Pld, Rdm, ect ect. And someone in an EXP pt who was an ass to a Bst while trying to lvl will more then likely be an ass to an EXP pt if they decide to lvl Bst themselves. Changing their job and lvling ability won't affect the way they treat people.
