Swarming in CoM

[onmove_broke]

Can someone explain to me why bards swarm in COM? With all the places to go, they choose to pull every single mob from moat/arena and then train the reavers when done. Is this not considered zone disruption or since it is technically an outdoor zone, it is not? Green is already on life support with 500 people on only while Quarm hits 1100....Seems like green has just become kingdoms playground at this point.

just steal mobs off their kites

Because it's the best exp for players who are good at the game. You should try it some time.

If groups are trying to XP in those camps and the Bard is either pulling their mobs or otherwise swarming around the area and fucking up the group's pulls, causing aggro/trains on them, etc. then yes would be zone disruption.

Most of the bards I have seen do this are really respectful about it. They communicate with the pullers and avoid the mobs that other people are camping. There are always bad apples out there though.

Find some lvl 60 druids or wizards and ask them to come chase out the bard by bombing the kites? I don't have a relevant 60 on green, but I'm always happy to do this on blue so I'm sure there are plenty of people on green who will be happy to disrupt the bards zone disruption.

Guys, remember, be respectful when getting mad about bards being total obnoxious douchebags and ruining a zone. If you're lucky, and you treat them right, they might even get you a FREE REZ after you are inevitably killed by them.

Yeah no they don't. Groups in dungeons don't have some static list of "mobs they are camping". You just pull what's available, as your group composition inevitably changes.

It's not a bad apples thing. The entire practice is inherently disruptive and annoying to like every single other player in the game.

Hey here's an idea: Don't do this at all, and you're a good apple in my book!

Or just FD a train onto the swarm if they're being unflexible assholes

This isn't really true per the PNP. In dungeons the PNP has a definition of what comprises a camp
