Or when the bard decides to be a dick and zone because someone tagged off the kite. Seen this cause massive mayhem with a black reaver attached to it in CoM lol

btw, this is not safe advice. recently did this in city of mist, a bard was swarming the entirety of 2nd, 3rd, moat and arena - while there were two groups at temples / stables starving for mobs.

I pulled a few off the bard kite, the bard petitioned. GM arrived and told me it was actually me who was acting against the PnP because i was disrupting his swarm.

This is just sad if true. How does that make the game better or more classic? Is there any evidence of GMs protecting bard swarms on live?

If players are competing for mobs, no single player deserves a GM-enforced guarantee of 5+ mobs. They should be able to do 25 to their heart's content ... until (like everything else here) others want to share ... at which point they should have to share.

For everything else a single player only gets a GM-enforced monopoly on a single spawn point ... but the moment you agro a mobs it makes sense to change that from 1 to 25?

Plus, RP-wise, if you see a guy being chased by a bunch of mobs, it's nuts that you can't "help him out".
