I have a 53 bard and the only time I play him is to raid or run circles. So I am fully aware the "happenings" of kiting. I am going to agree with Rojas on this, kiting is a delicate situation, tons of mobs, tons of different type of mobs, once screw up and your done. In Rojas situation when hes trying to run a business and provide professional and timely PLs its even more important he does not have any mishaps. The one necromancer standing on the side of the zone, pulling single tigers always has to jump in and shout "mind not pulling the whole zone" or "didn't you see me EXPing here!?" This displays two things to me.. first of all they are fully unaware of the mechanics of pulling, and the train of mobs are so far behind I have little to no control over their pathing. Second, that they are upset or angry with me (when infact there are plenty of tigers for everyone) they have to OOC or shout some pointless time wasting remark rather than being mature and sending me a tell.
Because in fact, NO I did not see your pixels standing half way up the zone wall 500m away at selos speed with 900 mobs chasing me... sorry.
I think the angst towards Bards comes from the jealousy at how easy-mode a good bards life can be compared to quad kiting or grouping. Because even though I have been accused of it, and people probably think I do it, and hate me for it. Despite ALLLLLL my efforts time and time again, I have yet to pull EVERY mob in a zone, leaving plenty for your "group".....
