Sometimes I wonder if you are all on a different server. The game is HUGE. Do you go looking for bards? I'm leveling a character in East Karana right now. I haven't seen another player in days.
As I've said several times, I leveled from 30 to 50 exclusively in OT on my druid (within the last 4 months). Bards were there pulling constantly. Some how I managed quite well. It's been said a bunch of times, but if a bard is annoying you ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS SEND A POLITE TELL AND BE WILLING TO NEGOTIATE.
I think there is something else going on. Maybe it has something to do with level 30. Since it's rare new players stick around past level 30, maybe the reality of the time commitment sets in and the player becomes agitated about the time they hit OT and have to cohabitate with bards. That certainly would fit with the time line of the last big boom to hit the server and all of these bard posts. This is why I wanted the player data base someone was working on to show specific character information. My theory could be analyzed.
I leveled my cleric in Droga from 30 - 40. I formed the groups. Sure it was annoying when we just got to camp and someone bailed, but eventually I made friends with reliable, solid players who enjoy dungeons. We moved to City of Mist after.

It can happen that you find players who are on your time schedule and start getting a core going, but it is rare. As I said I'm not to get bards nerfed or am I concerned for their mass low hp kiting, however; what I am concerned for as mentioned in my thread here is that it is out of control for how some bards are treating the area in OT. The disrespect they give fellow players who are trying to level near the areas that bards shouldn't be pulling from is my motivation for this thread.
If it gets everyone's panties in an uproar then they either haven't comprehended the thread well or they just don't care. But I agree with you on the level 30 plateau that most players run into. Classic EQ was a very time consuming hard game. It was super social, and this is a subject for another thread but players now seem to get annoyed like you said, and it seems many rather solo.
