It happens if you charm/swarm kite mobs of the same faction

Assuming you haven't build up too much aggro against the mobs you want to swarm your pet.

I'm giving the bard the benefit of the doubt here.

Talk to the bard

I didn't receive a single tell during this PL session, other than from my PLee. I tried avoiding most players as I always do. I'm also happy to avoid areas when a player asks.

However, in fact, I have NEVER received a tell asking me to avoid an area on P99, other than blunt hate-tells and subsequent /ignore

I have only ever been petitioned, sometimes within minutes of logging on and starting a PL. The bard hate is strong in this community

Once again, PLEASE TALK TO ME OR ANY BARD BEFORE BOTHERING THE STAFF

I fucking knew it. Daywolf, if you're too socially awkward to send a tell to a person in game, you're not going to do much better on these boards. Stop posting.

I've recently started playing again, and either due to Kunark zones being available or just a lot more bards, dealing with AE kiting seems like the new norm.

The bards that I've fought for mobs with (and lost) are genuinely nice about it, and will let you peel mobs off them if you ask, but that still doesn't help that you often are stuck twiddling your thumbs waiting for a mob if they're in the same area as you. Several have gone out of their way to run the train by to accommodate.

They often seem sincerely surprised that anyone would be frustrated about them locking down the same amount of mobs solo as 2 or 3 full groups. I'm not calling for a nerf, but unless you're doing AE kiting in some backwater I think it's selfish - whether or not the bard intends that or not.

I've yet to see someone complain about bards in a zone not named EK --> OT --> LOIO --> OT --> DL --> BW.

That is... wait for it... 5 zones. That's it. 5 zones. There are so much better places to level if you are doing 1 mob at a time. Why would anyone hunt these zones if you aren't a bard? And saying you're quadding isn't valid. There are valid alternatives with plenty of spawns that suck for bards...

Bard not looting, you wanting pelts.... sounds like a match made in heaven, now kiss and make-up.

OT is one of the most popular non endgame zones on the server.

So is KC and both are fucking stupid to level in.
