@mangadexcommentban - must be country-specific. I don't see any archers around where I live. Even children playing with bows are super-rare.
Still, Japan seems to have archery classes and clubs in school, which is cool. MC might have went to one of them.
@korra_lover - some people are unreasonably competitive. I've had a damage-dealer quit the party because he was doing most of the damage. I mean, that's what damage-dealers are for, right? Even if the other damage-dealers weren't as good.
And yes, I've seen people complain that people go to a war PvP zone with bows. I'm not sure what was the problem, they probably wanted more players to deploy ballistas.
Best to clarify the mood of the party from the start, to avoid any drama. Especially when you know your build isn't the current meta. Laid-back groups and guilds are nice.
