OP's observations are one of the first intriguing reasons I've heard.
My somewhat weaker hypothesis is, that kind of massive mob swarming would have caused 90% of the player base at that time to LD alot, because of hardware/connectivity issues. so it was just not something people did. Hard to sell your product if the person buying it goes keeps going LD, or worse, the bard.
I just remember connectivity and not going LD, by either crashing clients or the zone, waqs a constant issue in classic. And bard kiting -- isn't that exactly the sort of thing that would crash or mega-lag a zone back in the day?
Correct me if I'm wrong of course. It's just my hypothesis why.... NERF BARDS.
