All bards were assholes. And... a wizard leaving 4 mobs vs a bard leaving 800 is 100% different.

Yup, every bard is a total asshole... And there is no difference between a wizard dumping a kite on unsuspecting people and a bard doing it EXCEPT the number of mobs, both are still asshole moves.

ALL BARDS ARE ASSHOLES

I never swarm or train people on my bard. I have grouped all the way up.

You took a role from a real class. That makes you an a-hole. <3

Maybe if I ever went LFG that argument could be made. As it is, I get invited to groups and turn them down. I only group with my elite group of friends on my bard. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Well, we're generalizing here as it's the forums.

ABAA

And that's what's wrong with the aoe nerf. They generalized everyone into one pot, and then punished everyone for the actions of a few.

And bards are amazing in groups, just FYI. Maybe take the blinders off and let the bard hate fade and you will see the light that is a well played bard.

Give it a rest. The AE nerf is never getting reverted nor should it be. Deal with it.

This server will die ....unless we get gnome bards!! -rabble rabble rabble!!!-

Thanks for the responses, that answered my question.


To comment:
Once you start introducing artificial balance to the game beyond the original content it will always effect players outside of it's intended audience.

From a philosophical standpoint its the difference between facilitating a classic eq ruleset to being game developers running a custom server in the spirit of classic.

My hope is that we as the community and the staff, learn as much as we can from blue server so that the proposed Green server will be even better than blue, and even truer to classic.

I think that also means not listening to the community if it compromises the integrity of the game. There will always be another way for someone to maximize efficiency and there will always be the disadvantaged who complain, as well as the ones who stand to profit, advancing their agendas.

In the end its just a game :P and I am constantly impressed by the amount of effort put into the server by staff and community.

@OP

The only thing thats been proven in the last 8 or so years is that in order to protect the green server, they must make sure no one from the blue (or red) server ever, ever finds out about it.

But they didn't nerf bards in groups. So....

If you revert the 25 mob limit but still outlaw Chardok Groups, and somehow get enough staff members to actually deal with dickbag bards...

Who else will pull 25+ mobs [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Perhaps the occational Fear AoE clear /shrug
