It's not classic, but I haven't seen it be the issue you make it out to be. For example I XPed in OT Sunday evening, US time. Yes there were a few bards out there, but there were plenty of mobs left. I've XPed in LOIO as well (sarnak fort) quite a few times on my druid too.
To be honest if they wanted to fix it, there's a simpler way than resetting mobs like that. Considering bards have to keep mobs in a very narrow distance range to AoE them but not get hit, all they would have to do is add a slight jitter in the mob speed/position calculation causing damage to either be missed (mob too far) or the bard to get hit (mob too close). This would have very little effect on regular pulling / kiting since other classes use spells/bows with a much longer range.
