there was nothing about the mechanics of the game that prevented this. its just that when we played in classic we werent exactly in the everything is widespread information over the internet stage. with x number of years comes x number of experience... people returning to play on classic mechanics are going to use their years of experience to an advantage. you cant do anything about that and you SHOULDN'T do anything about it.

as far as the game goes. this IS classic.

You named 2 zones out of god knows how many that are popular bard hot spots. I can't understand to this day why people go to them to exp, I leveled all my toons BUT bard anywhere but OT for this reason.

I've been straight up refused to join groups on my bard because of my penalty, maybe if people stopped bitching about exp gain then I wouldn't have had to kite as much as I did.

Easy solution, change zones, evolve. http://wiki.project1999.com/Zones

I mean really, if you enjoy the game, enjoy the game, and being able to aggro a whole zone is part of Everquest, if you are trying to change it, better change game.

GMs would aggro a full zones on betas to test if they would support its lag before making it live, kiteable or not.

Meaning just because you feel it affects you and your circle in a negative way, does not mean its not part of the game.

Seriously Norrath is a big fucking place, not every single zone has a Bard taking every single mob.

Uh. I had a bard friend on classic who was able to kill entire Velious zones using the old swarm tactics (not the ones bards here use, which have more limitations).

So I dunno what you want done.

Someone please wake me up when one of these threads gets started, and the person mentions a zone not named LOIO or OT.

It's often powerlevelers too, you MUST farm as many TunnelQuest tokens as possible before Velious! ALL OF YOU!

yeah i was thinking that too. Was grouped in oasis last night and started noticing all the mobs were gone. Saw one bard kiting half the zone, and another bard power leveling a noob while aeing the other half. Peoeple started hollering in zone about how all bards are assholes etc. The group next to us disbanded and left.

I just kept pulling and if i couldnt find a mob up peel one off his 60mob train and continue a long.

no one follows #8 anyway and goodluck getting it enforced
