I thought swarm kiting was a thing that was legit, like quad kiting for druids/wizards. I made a bard because I'm new, don't know anybody (at least their names) that play, so I wanted to be able to solo & build up some money to make a cleric worth playing (to at least afford spells, nothing fancy).

Swarm kiting is not cheating at all, but a technique the bard can master. I have no trouble with it, but I guess those who do are thinking in the lines of "if everyone did bard swarming there would never be any outdoor mobs left in the game..." Is my guess.
Never had problems with bards swarming on this server. Chardok on the other hand...
