Swarming - No Fear/POG/Velks?

[Bardp1999]

Wondering if this in practice only means City of Mist or if it really means ALL dungeons.

Here is a list to all the zones it applies too:

With the new changes to swarming/kiting - it would appear that swarming in Fear and PoG are no longer viable options. Are there exemptions for Raid zones? Would Velketors Labrynth fall under a raid zone? If a group is using Bard snare to handle adds and keep mobs in camp, is this allowed?

As it reads, I would think the current Fear tactic of "train everything and then stun/AoE it down and then kill CT" would be very much against the rules - similar situation in PoG with kiting. People swarm the spiders all the time in Velks, its great XP for the group. I for one will be keeping a watchful eye on these zones and reporting anyone who violates the new law.

"I do not like limiting how someone plays the game (unless it's exploitive in nature, of course). However, based on a high volume of situations, there is a need to revise how we classify swarm kiting in dungeon-type zones.

Historically, we have only responded to reports of zone disruptions as a result of swarm kiting reactively - if the player has already monopolized all of the mobs in a zone or if they have already trained other players. However, due to the high-risk play style, this has not been effective at stopping players from repeatedly causing major zone disruptions.

We will begin to proactively consider swarm kiting in dungeon-type zones a form of zone disruption, regardless of other players being present in the zone or not. In addition to monopolizing mobs and creating very high-risk situations for other players in the zone, it is also creating situations where players are passing on hunting in desired zones simple because they see a single player using this tactic, and recognize that the high-risk playstyle for one individual may very well get them and their groupmates killed." ~ GM Medris
