What is the rule of thumb for petitioning bards on zone monopolizing

wimlin · #1 07-15-2014, 01:02 AM

Title says it all. Seriously at what point can I petition it and have a GM make them stop taking every mob in the zone for a 30 min AE kite. It says it in the rules, but I want to know when its ok to petition it. Is it a certain number of mobs.. do I need to time how long every spawn is gone for? The rules seem to say you can't monopolize a zone, but what is the definition of it?

It pretty much means that if the bard is literally taking everything and you can't even pull mobs because of it, GMs would do something about it. But they won't do a thing unless it's really being totally cleared. Your best bet is to find a spot that you can claim, mobs that doesn't roam, are within your range of sight then the bard couldn't pull those.

Ask the bard to not pull mobs from the area you are exping, or ask the bard to leave some mobs up where you are. If the bard doesn't compromise with you, just petition. GMs are pretty good about stopping bards from doing this.

I suggest sending the bard a tell rather than making comments in OOC. It's pretty easy to figure out who is pulling the mobs.

Most bards are willing to accommodate people trying to exp. Like others said, send him a tell. If he's not willing to be reasonable, go over his head.

As soon as you see a bard on /who, petition

Charm a mob from his train, sow it,buff it, then zone. Come back and watch it chase him down and stun him, and bask in the massacre

The bard would have to be really bad to die to that shit.

If the bard was good, they would play the game and not just run in circles.
