Bard swarm kiting or zone disruption?

[Duik]

Waa its the ONLY WAY I CAN LEVEL!
Sorry you cant group.
We are sorry you can pull 25 mobs and slowly kill them all in a way no other class can, even the multi kiting classes. Sorry bub. 4 tops except if you are the singing twat.
Also, I appreciate a good swarm kite. Just not near me.

Bards are arguably a great group augmentation class. But it got twisted (see what I did there?) into an antisocial zone disrupter whos feelingz get hurt if people dare to call that shit out. Your feelz dont matter.

Wanna speed run lvls? Go for it, just dont fuck everyones day doing it.

Absolutely pathetic. Any move towards making p99 closer to retail/progression server EQ is a step in a real shitty direction. The beauty of p99 has always been classic first, your hurt feelings are disregarded. If someone is being shitty take note of the name and shit list them, that's classic.

Taking away an entire classes ability to exp is never the right answer. Might as well get melody and restrict bards ability entirely from swarming. A real progression-like move.

Yeah see I half agree with this the problem is no amount of "shit listing" stops them from just doing it anyway.

Can still swarm in outdoor zones and annoy the players there instead. That's compromise!

It's not just bards.

How about the level 60 mages who are too bad at the game to farm anything meanwhile running through Paineel clearing every single guard spawn with their pet, while refusing to claim a specific spawn while level appropriate players fight for scraps to get exp?

Or the countless near-level 60 players in who are too bad at the game to farm anything meanwhile running through Sol A clearing every single goblin spawn while refusing to claim a specific camp while level appropriate players fight for scraps to get exp?

Bit different fighting a handful of mobs at a time to claiming most of the mobs in an area at a single time.

True. Bards just get the best tools to monopolize an area - but man I’ve run into a lot of max level paineel or sol a farmers as well as COM swarmers in my time on p99
