Although the priest is a "passive" character in an instance, I find it a demanding intense class to play. One has to be constantly aware of everything that is going on and keep constant track of everyone and their pet.
Anyway, I have another different gripe about playing a priest. Out of courtesy, I will usually pass on leather, mail, swords, etc. But players playing other classes do not extend the same courtesy. I was once in a 5 person party that included an orc hunter. A wand dropped. The hunter won the roll. I asked him nicely for it. He refused, but then offered to sell it to me later. After a partial wipe we all took a break outside the instance to buy and sell. I asked to see the wand and he told me he had already sold it to a vendor. I reallly didn't feel like healing that guy anymore in combat and was delighted when he left the group.
