It wasn't the exception for our teams, that's what I'm saying. It's really just a matter of finding the right people to play with who want to do it the same way as you. If you're not yet ready for a more advanced team, find others who you can practice with and before you know it you'll have a team of likeminded people.
And many people get booted because either the spot was full, or we needed a specific class (lacking one of them) or they've proved several times that they're not very helpful to the team. So maybe that's why you got booted and not simply because of your class alone.
