Bard swarming ruins classic experience.

[Vladesch]

some silly "simple" solutions suggested so far.
Here's one...
Limit the number of mobs affected by the bard's song to some arbitrary number.
Code is already there for many aoe spells. (eg lightning strike affects only 4)

People who are suggesting everyone else should go to another zone are dicks.
If Im the right level for overthere in a group what am I supposed to do? Move the entire group to FV? Yeah sure. Good luck with pulling that off and not having half the group just log off. Also good luck finding replacement members in FV when people leave.
Like I say... dicks.

Or maybe we should just go to WW or FM and kill greens all day.

Same for groups in loio. Where should they go where half the group isn't going to quit rather than bother moving, and provide somewhere that they can get replacements when people leave?

Not everyone else xping in the zone is a druid who can just zip across several zones and just solo away.
Dicks.

(Get rid of the xp penalty and let bards group. They would be most welcome in most groups)

Also, good luck finding FV without some bard kiting most/all of the dogs.

(And seriously, to hell with the damned drachs. Only a masochist fights caster mobs with the current fucked up player resist mechanics unless dungeon rewards are involved. I wouldn't even wish that shit on a bard.)
