Ok, I found it. Thanks.

We need our 'Server Rules' post updated if one GM is going to change the server rules and expect everybody to have seen the post he made at some point. Because isn't Sirkin basically saying, 'If you don't see any mobs around and spot a bard with a HUGE train, just petition, as that bard is breaking the rules of monopolizing a zone'.

Am I missing something? It seems like it would be extremely hard to enforce the 'monopolizing zones' rule. This just goes against what is established as the rules and even against what many people here seem to believe the rules are. The fact is, the server rules specifically state that you can't claim outdoor roaming mobs and there is no mention of 'monopolizing zones' which seems difficult to even prove. I personally can't check on all mobs to see if they are ALL up at any given time. It takes time to run to the other side of the zone and see if those mobs are even up. I just don't quite get how we, as players, can determine when a zone is 'monopolized'.

As I said above, I can only interpret the rules as saying 'start petitioning anytime there aren't mobs to pull near you and you see a bard kiting in a zone'. It just seems like 'when is a zone monopolized' is a difficult question for both player and GM to answer.
It would be a messy rule, but I think this whole issue needs to be addressed by the staff with a clear outline on what is and isn't allowed.

The only thing that is annoying to me is when Bards grief entire newbie zones just to power level people for money. Here is an example: A Bard pulled the entire zone of Field of Bone all day to power-level someone. I do question whether this kind of zone disruption should be allowed in a purely newbie zone. Maybe make exceptions where Bard zones like Overthere and South Karana are OK to do it? I don't know, I'm just saying what I think might be fairest to everyone involved, not what the rules currently are or necessarily should be.
