My pulls maxed out at about 30-50 mobs due to packet loss and framerate issues, but it was totally possible.

People complaining about bard kiting is also classic.
most of the bards who do it are really just trying it out or curious...the truth is that bard AE kiting is a boring hard monotonous way to spend your time. and, you'll die enough that if you don't figure out what you're doing it might not even be significantly more efficient.

my experience lately has been that almost all of the bards that are causing the zone disruption AE kiting are mostly causing the disruption because they don't know what they are doing...on live, one of the reasons that folks didn't try this stuff was that they didn't want to ruin their rep or get embarrassingly owned in front of a whole zone of people. there are no such social mores here.

there are only a handful of truly "working" bards out there that can do this efficiently.
