Play Nice Policy Doesnt Apply to Bards Making Money

I don't see why this is still a discussion. There is a guide on the first page on how to eliminate bards.

Monopolizing an area of a zone is breaking the PnP. Instead of waiting days for GM response its best to take matters into your own hands and force the bard out via xp loss or inefficient PL. Since you will both be breaking PnP policy.

Tagging off swarms is a bad idea, will result in your swift death when the scumbag dies.

on the flip side, it seems you don't realize how easy it is for a bard to wipe out someone in an outdoor zone

Unless that person is a necromancer.

Bards are currently wiping out groups left and right in DL with bad play.

At least know wtf you're doing if you're going to swarm 20+ mobs.

If you are a leveling bard and you are reading this, DONT GO INTO DL. If you do too many mobs, you get DC'd by zone lag. If you don't do enough, it's not worth it. FV till 49ish, then BW the rest of the way.

If I could level all over again, I would do 1-18 wherever, 19-30 in Ill Omen (I think), 31-50 in FV, then BW. Least disruptive (if you aren't on peak hours for Ill Omen).

That would be a pretty good non-disruptive path except for possibly as you mentioned Lake at peak times, or soloer's at ledge in FV. When I was leveling, low hp agro was still a thing so it was very easy to go to out of the way places like EJ. BW it was rare to see anyone that wasn't a bard or a person leveling with a bard.

Easier for us to kill bards. You'd have to pull a train and get aggro on us. Which unless you're blind is 100% obvious and we can just relog. A bard wouldn't notice a mob tagged to find caster aggro and he wouldn't have time to react to a desync.

I quit for awhile but I think I'll go bard hunting for a few hours.

Play Nice Policy most certainly does apply.

Go through the correct channels - either /petition in-game or gather up some SS's / Fraps footage and head to the petition forums.

I'm sorry that you have had to deal with this on this weekend.

Have, and will continue to take action against these players accounts.

99% of the time fraps is deemed as inconclussive outside of raid training.

Just gotta accept it.

I had some troubles last week in OT. Was trying to get my OT hammer before going to KC and ruin my outpost faction, at lvl 38 it was nice exp tho [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

So was trying to kill sarnaks berserkers. Most of the time I couldn't find a mob, because some bards were tagging all the mobs (besides the tigers, they run as fast as sow), from Skyfire ramp to FM zoneline, in 30min I would only kill 2 berserkers...

Asked in ooc channel if they could leave some the berserkers alone, so I could do my faction grind. Most of the time they didn't care. BUT 2 bards were nice, and let me loot the braids. In the end, finished my faction grind faster.

So ask politely if they can swarm elsewhere or leave enough mobs for everyone. If they don't care, just /petition.

Or if they are rude: as a shaman, pull from their pack a rhino and cockatrice. charm it, cast sow on it. log off...

...this weekend in LOIO...various camped areas (mainly Sarnak fortress ledge)...

LOIO is a popular place for bards. I'm surprised groups attempted to level there during double xp.
