Zone I'm having an issue with is Burning Wood. Bards name is Whaziko and hes been pulling the entire zone starting around 9 PST both nights and has basically made me have to stop xping. There are very few places to quad at this level now that raptors are completely ruined so basically once he rolls in I'm done for the night unless I want to petition. You can literally run through Burning Wood the past couple nights and see almost no mobs in the zone.

Bards in BW don't pull sarnaks or giants. And no bard is perfect at clearing. There will always be a few hornets/skellies/apes left untouched. Finally, the mobs there die at very different rates (some have 3x the hp of others). By the time he's finishing his pull off, half the zone will be repopped and you'll have your choice of mobs to gather for a quad.

In summary, quit whining and being bad at EQ.
