That kind of thinking is what killed the MMORPG genre. The game isn't supposed to be safe. NPC's should actually be hunting players down sometimes. It shouldn't even be completely safe to be AFKing in the middle of your hometown, because scripted city invasions should be a thing and cause monsters to come flooding in occasionally.

See I do agree with this in principle, but I'm not a fan of griefing and what I'm talking about is player behavior. Bards know (or should) that swarming can easily result in other people dying if they screw up. They have the insanely overpowered ability to swarm kite, but they often wield it like a kid who found his dad's gun (to quote jeff goldblum in jp), which is to say irresponsibly. MMO's ultimately need players, and getting killed while afk by a dropped swarm makes people log out.
