If they're low-hitpoint kiting (or hell, even if they're not), only one of them needs to hit and stun them and you've got a dead bard.

Druid/ranger snare has its own advantages. It lasts so long (7 minutes?) that the zone rapidly turns into a minefield of slow moving mobs, like so many zombies.

I've killed a lot of bards in my time. It's better than sex.

Hilariously, even while they're disrupting the zone for everyone else (I've seen situations where the zone is cleared of mobs-- literally cleared), sometimes they'll petition you. But their fun will still be over. You can go ahead and petition them right back if you want-- explain that draining a zone of mobs is zone disruption-- or you can just be satisfied that you've saved the day for everyone else that was trying to-- and has a right to-- use the zone.
Except what you've done is actually petitionable, and the Bard has done nothing wrong. I think you'll find that once it's sorted out, you'll be the one being reprimanded/disciplined.

Not saying it's ok for Bards to disrupt the play of others. But bizarre senses of entitlement don't stop with Bards. Some of you guys are downright strange in your take on what is yours, and what is just. If a Bard wants to make things difficult for you in return, you'll be the one zoning, not him/her (sit aggro is a bitch). It's a silly fight to start IMO, and your death XP is harder to regain than theirs.

As for me, if there were more groups available I'd be grouping. It's much more fun. This isn't the bum rush to max level live was. I want to enjoy the journey.
