Bard here, and new to the server.
It all boils down to respect. It's pretty pathetic for bards to operate their business in area of high traffic where others are playing. It's even worse when it's a high level bard PLing under these circumstances. I've seen it, an it ticks me off.
On the flip side, it's pretty disrespectful to moan dramatically in ooc as if you, I, or anyone owned roaming mobs. I've had a few times in OT where there are 5-7 people in the zone ... I've scouted out where others are hunting and avoided pulling those areas ... I'm mid kite, and some new guy zones in and proceeds to rant about me kiting and minding my own business. I do my best to avoid others. If it's crowded - I move on. If people ask to join and leech I generally oblige. Thankfully I play in the Australian time zone (ish) so prime time for me is that early am lull for the US where there are 200-400 people on the server.
I understand the gripe though. I've been in the other side as both a bard and my druid and had huge swaths of my lowbie zone monopolized my a single bard PLing. I've got no beef with PLing ... But it ideally should be done in a courteous way that doesn't impact others. I've taken donations to allow people roughly my level to leech xp, but if there are others hunting in the area, the person donating for xp leeching has to deal with smaller pulls from time to time so as not to impact others.
