I have to say, I don't understand why bard swarm kiting is allowed at all on the server. It clearly violates all three of the policies that the OP posted. No where does any of the three PnP rules listed say "camp". It says "most or all of a zone". Pretty much every time a swarm kiter does his thing, whether it's in OT, BW, Dreadlands, EK, Oasis, FV, or any other zone that bard swarm kiters do their thing... any reasonable person would say there is zone disruption and a monopoly on the monsters.
This isn't even considering the lag it creates, which disrupts the normal playability of the zone. Nor is it considering that in certain zones, especially BW.. a swarm kite takes an hour or more, which makes the zone completely unusable for a huge amount of time. I for one wish they would either tweak the bard abilities, mob AI, or some other feature to make it not work. How that would happen, I have no idea. Not classic? Nope, but neither is 4 years of Kunark, every 3rd person playing buying Powerleveling, or a host of other problems the server has. I love P99, and have played here off and on for nearly 4 years. But bard swarm kiting has always been one of the things I hate most about the server, and it has only gotten worse.
Salty? Damn straight I am.
Using OT as an example, define most of the zone?

Because no matter how you try to spin it, they aren't even taking half of the zone. They take specific mobs in one half of the zone (OT swarm east side for lower lvl bards, west side for higher) avoiding specific mobs like tigers and rhinos.

Had you said Chardok, that makes a lot more sense.
