Circle kiting needs to be nerfed

[Reguiy]

Delete this thread please. Weekends and holidays are reserved for "what is the best duo?" and "how can I play with my roommate?" threads. "Nerf bard kiting" threads are weekdays only. And ya, fuck bards.

That's what my parents are for silly.

Meh, I wish they'd remove "swarm"/AE kiting just so bards would have to group. Might have been "classic" the same way item recharging was. I know on my server bards didn't start AE kiting until PoP.

Its a shame, Bards are one of The unique defining aspects of EQ, but here they're usually antisocial and/or pissy because everyone complains when they see one in their zone.

OT/Loio are great zones for any (lazy) kiting class. Plus, surely to god, people get tired of hitting the same ZEM hotzones every toon. How many times can you run CB->Unrest->MM->CoM anyways?

I've gotten the "Go fuck yourself I've been here X hours" just as often as the "Sure tag off me."

The problem for me is who the hell wants to wait 20 minutes for a bard to finish a kite Plus respawn time? Aint got time for that.

This is from my power leveling thread you can see in my signature:
"Ethics Disclaimer
I will make all efforts to provide a service that is fast and efficient while remaining ethical. All attempts will be made to avoid interrupting other players' regular leveling experiences. I will always work with other players if there is a possibility they may feel interrupted by my power level session, and if a zone is too crowded, I may choose to end the session to ensure the client and other players all have the most positive experience possible. I may choose to end the session or deny service if the client requests I act in an unethical manner."

Aren't you the bard who sometimes shows up in Kurn's Tower and sends an announcement?

If yes, then it doesn't bother me because in the end you always give some free power leveling to the random players in the zone.

If no, then it doesn't bother me because I don't level in OT / LOIO anyways.

From your PNP:

Causing Experience Loss.

Intentionally causing experience-loss to other players in the PvP environment is illegal in all cases and may result in disciplinary action when witnessed by a P99CSR. This includes things such as intentionally training NPCs. We do understand that there are cases where the experience-loss is unintentional, and no disciplinary action will be taken in those cases.

Wouldn't this be a case of intentionally causing EXP loss? I mean rooting a bard would be guaranteed EXP loss since the goal would be allowing his train to catch up with him?

That being said, does Selos correctly overwrite Root when already active like in classic? Or does Red not have that classic functionality?

No its clearly against the rules and if we keep complaining about it they will do something about it.

I'd venture to guess if you keep whining and crying about it, people will just label you a crying whiner and advise you to either go somewhere else, or find another emu server to play on.

Non-bards lvl in OT?

lol

Time had made you into a soft baby girl! CSR was basically non-existent in classic. Submitted a video to them of being outright killstolen half a dozen times outside of Splitpaw and was told what I'm going to tell you. "Go to another zone. The world is incredibly huge and there are many spots for you to level at."
