If a bard is pulling YOUR mobs from YOUR camp then absolutely it applies. However... It does not apply to every mob in the zone. For instance.
If you are in Lake of Ill Omen in a Ledge Group. You don't own the entire Fort. If someone pulls the inside of the fort and throne room out, you have no leg to stand on to complain. This game is old enough to where camps are pretty clearly defined and understood.
I get that it's frustrating, but the reality is you don't "own" those mobs they are just conveniently near you.
This for instance comes up often in MM where anytime I get in a group @ Pond inevitably someone will just stand in canyon on the way to graveyard and plop their asses down and start killing everything from entrance to GY.
It's well understood that the canyon belongs to the Pond group, but that doesn't mean that everyone "agrees" with it. If either person /petitioned I doubt it would get any attention because truthfully neither are 100% right.
I was in Lake of Ill Omen for a while over the weekend (No I'm not bard btw...) and listened to a group Rage for about an hour about a bard pulling inside of the Fort. I ran over and noticed the bard was pulling the throne room and pathers.
Not either of the ledge groups nor the back door had pulled anything more than 2-3 spawns deep into the fort, the throne room nor anything near it had been touched, yet they were screaming/whining in shout for an hour about how a bard stole their mobs.
I get it, it pisses you off, but did the Bard commit a crime. No... sorry they didn't. At least not in this instance.
Now if you have half your camp down, and they wander around snagging the rest of your established camp you have a very clear issue that I could see being addressed.
At least in my instance I witnessed the group were just ill informed whiners who were pissed that they didn't have a bottomless fort to pull from.
Just not the way it works I'm afraid.
Anyway the weekend is over, hopefully things will go back to normal.
