Annoying

[myriverse]

I can understand PLers getting annoying.
Don't understand being annoyed with twinks. It's their prerogative.

But leave the Tweaks alone! He never did nothing to no one.

It is annoying I agree. Unfortunately, EQ never put in any kind of code to combat this. Best thing to do is get into a group and stick to a known camp. Against camp rules for the high level player to take any mobs out of your camp. But if you are wanting to solo in outdoor zones and fight animals, then unfortunately if a powerleveler shows up, currently there is no known server rules against them rounding up everything.

I would change two things on the server if I could. First thing is if a mob is trivial, I would make it so the mob flees instead of follows. Second thing, if the mob is not trivial, I would limit how many can follow. Or change how Bard aoe songs work, like if you are running away, they do no damage. But, the "shit's classic" crowd will cry a river, so change will not happen here.

Everyone is always against Bard PLers until they can afford to hire one. Then they're all about that shit

Just out of curiosity, OP, where are you hunting at that this is a problem? I only ask because I never really seemed to have an issue finding mobs to kill when I was leveling up. That was a little while ago though, so maybe things have changed.

Keep in mind too, as a Pally you're not exactly a solo king, though you do make a great tank for a group. Try giving that a shot perhaps.

It's annoying, but its a big world. Go somewhere unusual.

Probably to a lot of people. But I personally never enjoyed being powerleveled. Oddly enough I enjoy powerleveling others though, for FREE.

The coin has two sides.

Good side about all of this is that sometimes peoples who's been here for a long time will give you free stuff.
Most of the decent gear I have on my char comes from nice unknown peoples.

You may be right or wrong, but complaining will do you no good.

By the way, what is that zone full of bard twinks? I didn't see this yet.

Prob OT & DL, but gear isn't really needed for this style of play.

Try hunting indoor zones- less kiters.

The one most annoying thing with the bard AE kiting isn't even that they're taking all the mobs in a zone. It's that the pull takes so long between rounding everything up and then slowly AEing everything that it monopolizes the zone for soooo long.
If some high lvl blasts thru every gnoll in BB it sucks but the zone will repop in 20 min or whatever.
When a bard starts doing an OT roundup it means no mobs for maybe an hour.
