Wrong. What do you think would happen on live if you were abusing a zone by locking up literally every mob in it, to the point where no one else could use it? As someone who used to AE group, I can tell you that a GM would come and tell you to stop it because it's zone disruption. It's no different than intentionally training. The game is designed to accomodate groups of people, usually many groups of people, and if a single person (or group) somehow finds a way around that, it's still against the rules.
Swarm kite all you want, but it's still using game mechanics in a way they weren't intended, and if you take it so far that other people can't find a mob to kill, you've crossed a line and opened yourself up for vigilante justice. The only problem is that more people don't do it. You're in the right. Take your zone back, people.

It's not AoE kiting that removes all the mobs. It's low hit-point kiting, and I agree this mechanic is pretty much blatant exploitation, which is why I won't do it. I don't want to get 2 levels every hour anyway. If I want that I'd be playing another game. AoE kiting is easy enough once you have it down (though hellishly boring for too long; give me a good group any day).
It sounds to me like you are just a bit bitter because you decided you wanted a set of mobs, and a Bard decided they wanted it, much like the guy I ran into in SK who abused me right out of the box for nothing, simply because I was a Bard and dared to tag some mobs from "his" area when he
wasn't there. This frankly brutish sense of entitlement swings both ways.
The Bards I know would do what I did - leave him alone despite his stupidity and go elsewhere (in my case I just ran the zone picking up the many strays, which was all the same to me anyway, and netted me a Pegasus Cloak). There are plenty of mobs for everyone on this server. No need to get all aggressive for nought. I say the same to you.
