AoE kiting is fine. It's fun, takes real skill, involves a fair amount of risk, and is a fair use of the Bard's abilities when most of you aren't grouping anyway (so you can't complain that anyone resorts to soloing). The problem is what everyone is calling "low hitpoint" kiting.

100% agree. I tried this for an hour or two on Dramor and it is absolutely trivial. There has been an absolute explosion of ~50 bards recently and it is a direct result of the fact that any pair of knuckledragging morons can get 2 levels an hour doing this. Low HP hate needs to be capped at let's say 1/4-1/3 of the mob hp.
That being said, the people bitching about bards are in general unskilled noobs who can't handle dungeons. Leveling in OT period is trivially easy. Get out of OT and go to Lower Guk, Kaesora, Solusek B, Mistmoore, or any one of the great EQ dungeons.
