The antosocial, extreme end of raiding and soloing just has not been punished adequately enough on an individual level. Instead, the general community and the classic game itself has been made to adjust.

I cannot, for the life of me, decipher whether or not you are for or against bard swarming.
But agreed - the petitions around swarming on Green usually centered around 4-5 players - Repeat offenders.
It was in the same zone, typically - City of Mist.
And it was usually to serve the same purpose - PLing guild bots.
Basically these bards decided that their guild bots were more important than the 12-24+ players in the zone: who were grinding, trying to exp one mob at a time.
They would constantly (and incorrectly) quote the PnP saying things like "It's an outdoor zone, so you can only claim one spawn technically", when you would ask them to leave your group's camp on the 2nd floor, moat or arena alone. (City of Mist is outdoors, but it doesn't qualify as an "outdoor zone" because the spawn timer is longer than the typical 6:40 found in "true" outdoor zones)
Because of these few players - now every bard is scared to swarm in any zone. The server adapts to the sweatiest, rudest players - not the other way around, sadly. Such is life on p99. Maybe one day Rogaen will give up this project and we can all be free from our self-inflicted prison.
