I mentioned that Bards should be completely responsible for avoiding camps. And while yes, Bards should be aware of others when pulling that doesn't mean that they are omniscient players able to track every other player coming and going through the middle of a zone. Maybe all Bards should just have a macro that is "/ooc Look out for the huge fucking group of mobs, running through it could be detrimental." Because there will more than likely be somebody who runs through it, bard messes up, then person gets killed. While I don't have an issue with training being enforced, it seems that the whiners have gotten a GM to come down hard on one zone, on one class when I'm sure pull mishaps happen all the time throughout many zones.

To be honest I just view it as zone information. It's like going into Mistemoore and not expecting to see some trains, or going into TD and expecting not to see quad kiting. If you go to OT you should expect bard kiting. There are risks to playing in every zone.

And for this to take a higher priority than CSR in Veeshan's Peak just seems completely off kilter to me. But that's my own personal opinion.

Also, a bit off topic but could this issue also be a result of incorrect aggro mechanics? I would have to assume part of the mechanics don't work given that swarm charm kiting doesn't work here the way it should. (Last I checked)
