I could go into crazy detail on that again, but eh whatever, too early in the day to argue.

What I will say is, why did the original developers put spells into the game that are able to hit every mob in an area around you (mainly if you are a bard, wizard, enchanter, whatever)? [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I think they had in mind that players would do different exciting things with those tools instead of boring single pulls all the time. You can enjoy the game by playing one of those classes too ya know? I've put up with bard kites before and never once complained about it. Why all of a sudden are bards "ruining EQ"?/? wtf is happening?
I can't speak for the developers as to a why, but in game design balance is the first concern. A spell that damages every mob in the area is balanced by the fact that every mob in the area will now attack you. If the mobs can't hit you, you remove the balance and you enter the realm of exploit.

You don't have to search hard on these boards for people complaining about bards ruining this game, and it is not a "all of a sudden" complaint. It goes back years and years. Just because you'll put up with it, doesn't mean others want to.
