No problem with you bards until tonight, what you guys should understand.

[Stinkum]

The problem isn't Bards.

The problem is the ridiculous efficiency of Bard power leveling for the mid-level range, as well as the high demand for such AE kiting services.

At a going rate of 2-3k per hour and endless supply of customers, it is probably the fastest and easiest way to make money in the game. That itself is a recipe for the more unsavory types of players to try to dip their beaks on that sweet AE kiting money. Unsavory types who really don't care that they train, steal mobs, monopolize content, and are general assholes to everyone in the process.

Back when I was XPing in OT, Capi was there 4-5 hours a night at primetime consistently keep pulling every last cactus, rhino, tiger, and cockatrice from Skyfire ramp, as well as the entire zone. I remember the group I was in politely asked if he could leave some up for us, since we were there before he even got here, and he didn't give a shit.

Your average Bard player is great, but beware of the power leveling douche bags.
