I've recently started playing again, and either due to Kunark zones being available or just a lot more bards, dealing with AE kiting seems like the new norm.
The bards that I've fought for mobs with (and lost) are genuinely nice about it, and will let you peel mobs off them if you ask, but that still doesn't help that you often are stuck twiddling your thumbs waiting for a mob if they're in the same area as you. Several have gone out of their way to run the train by to accommodate.
They often seem sincerely surprised that anyone would be frustrated about them locking down the same amount of mobs solo as 2 or 3 full groups. I'm not calling for a nerf, but unless you're doing AE kiting in some backwater I think it's selfish - whether or not the bard intends that or not.
