Y'all are missing the biggest reason why they made the change. Look, Nilbog hates doing anything for the classic experience; 99 out of 100 (999 out of 1000?) times he'll pick classic mechanics over classic experience. Just look at Enchanters here: their experience is nothing like the live one, but Nilbog is convinced he has the mechanics for them right, so their unclassic experience remains.

So why then did he make an exception in this one specific case, when it's antithetical to everything else he does? Hint: it's not because he specifically hates bards ... it's because prior to the AoE limit, Bards were dominating zones like OT, taking everyone's mobs. People would then try and screw with the bards, creating a mess of petitions from both sides.

That is why Nilbog instituted the AoE limits: because our all volunteer GM squad had better things to do than babysit Overthere (and other swarm kite zones) 24/7. If you want to change the limit, convince the staff that it won't result in a million new petitions ... or else give up.

Interesting. So, you think the issue is that WE are missing the point, versus not agreeing with the reason or seeing alternative solutions as more practical? That's a bizarre assumption.

If the problem is BARDS, then make it a BARD problem, not an entire server problem. Again, that's just a really bad argument.

PNP enforcement, bard AoE spell limitations, ban the douche who decides an entire zone belongs to them?

I'm saying that if you show up in 2021 and start complaining how things are here and trying to change them ... maybe it would behoove you to understand how they got to be that way first. Otherwise you risk wasting a bunch of energy on "solutions" that don't in any way address the actual problem that the 25 AoE limit was created to solve.

Aren't you just full of fun assumptions [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I'm agreeing with the OP - No energy wasted here.
