What are the odds...?

[Wayward]

That a level 60 Bard, who's been on the Green server for 4 or 5 years, and is geared to the teeth with God / NToV / City Leader loot, doesn't know what constitutes a swarm?

Short backstory:

Bard in City of Mist, powerleveling a cleric bot for their guild. Bard is gathering about a dozen or more mobs from the 2nd and 3rd floor and using PBAoE DoT spells to damage them down all at once. However, not doing it in the safe area at Arena, the Bard seemed to have some trouble, causing mobs to fall off the upper floors and train groups down below on the 1st level, and also dying and causing the mobs pathing back to train groups on the 2nd floor.

When confronted with the fact that City of Mist is off-limits to swarms, for the very reason that the Bard is demonstrating, their response(s):

"I'm not swarming, I'm only collecting 10-12 mobs."
"I thought a swarm was uncontrolled mobs."
"Show me where in the rules it says what constitutes a swarm."
"Your definition of a swarm means nothing."

And the icing on the cake, the backhanded "apology":
"I'm sorry that the way I'm playing is upsetting you."

So RnF : in your estimation, what are the percentage based odds that this level 60 Bard, a longtime member of one of the Green server's foremost raiding guilds never learned what a swarm is? 0%? -10%? Nil?

Bonus points if you can guess the player.
Not as many bonus points if you can guess the guild tag.

I'll answer your question with a question. What are the odds this thread could have just been a /petition.

What we have here is a masterclass in disciplined minimalism. Note how the critic opens with a rigorous methodological standard with an almost academic commitment to verifiability. Their refusal to engage with claims unsupported by empirical documentation is admirable. One can practically hear the peer review process humming in the background.

Then, with admirable efficiency, the evaluation is rendered. No hedging, no bloated justification, just clean, decisive judgement. It’s the kind of clarity most reviewers spend paragraphs failing to achieve.

Finally, the closing recommendation is where the piece truly transcends. It’s not merely criticism; it’s a call to action. Urgent, direct, and clear. One leaves the reading experience not only understanding the critic’s position, but with a vivid sense of immersion in the original experience.

Huh? I'm not seeking justice. I'm flaming someone, in a rant. Is this not the fucking Rants and Flames section?

I'm asking what are the odds that this shit-flinging bard from the shit-flinging guild doesn't know what swarming is.

Here's a hint to the guild: They always play the victim. They think the server's against them, when in reality they have members always doing shit like this.

Looks like someone trained their AI bot on old episodes of Frasier.

Fansy, is that you?

Swarming in dungeons has been against the rules for a couple of years now.

So many possibles here. First let’s do start with the first obvious two.

1. Was an enchanter in zone? Maybe a mem blur on the bard resulting in this converse
2. You are dealing with a bard. A segment which is know to pick locks, and wears a mask of a DECIEVER.

Maybe we find your answer or provide some more detail

Imagine getting inflamed for being flamed for flaming someone in Rants and Flames
