Nerf quad kiting, necro soloing, mage pets, chardok aoe, warrior defensive, shaker-paging and the rest of the stuff that makes EQ EQ.

Its not that they can do it its that it disrupts a zone that people use and need for quests. False equivalencies and things like shaker paging that will never exist on this server are pretty sad arguments.

A sad argument is being told something is allowed several times by the staff and campaigning for it to be disallowed.
If someone is taking EVERY SINGLE NPC in the zone and is refusing to share, then petition! It's against the play nice policy to do so.

Communicate with the person. Say, "Hey, can you stop kiting all the NPCs in the zone? I have nothing to hunt.", then petition if they said 'no go fuck yourself this zone is mine.'
GMs just can't slap a blanket ban on something like that. That's stupid; if you weren't effected by it you wouldn't be making this topic. Be the bigger man and petition that douche bard if he's like that. But send him a tell first. They HAVE to be reasonable according to the server staff.

Same goes with Chardok AE groups. You're more than entitled to steal their AE mobs provided they aren't tagged, drag them to the side, and kill them. If the AE group kills you on purpose, then you can petition.

Oh, but wait, you won't do that to a chardok AE group. You'll be blacklisted by the server and won't be able to join most guilds. Boo hoo, if it's bothering you that much deal with the social consequences and petition.

Why do people even level in OT or LOIO? They're shitty zones with bad zem and are where bards usually kite.

FTFY.

Kind of laughable that someone would equate holding 40+ mobs over 20 minutes to a necro soloing 1 at a time every 1-2 minutes or a druid/wizard killing 4 mobs every 5 minutes.

Anyways, shit's not gonna change, just peel mobs off the assholish bards, wtf are they gonna do about it?

To me, anyway, the frustrating part of watching those Bards ruin zones like Overthere isn't that it happens. That by itself doesn't matter so much; lots of annoying stuff happens on P1999. My largest frustration on this issue is knowing that most the time it happens for nothing because most of those Bards will lose interest and quit by the early/mid 50's.

The minority of folks who stick with it, well, I don't blame 'em. Who wants to spend a lot of time leveling an alt that's probably intended to be used just as a raid resist singer? If you want to talk about "damage" to the server (I quote the word because it's a matter of opinion) then Chardok is a lot worse than any number of Bards running in circles since it directly contributes in a big way to the alt armies of 60's owned by folks on this server. That's not going away, either, so just accept it for what it is and that P1999 isn't quite the same as, well, 1999.

I find it funny that we talk about P1999 in 2009 in 2015 as we talked about live in 1999 in 2005.

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

Bards aren't taking anyone's mobs as much as they're delivering them. They won't miss one or two.

But anyway, I think we were long overdue for a new Bard thread. Thanks.

You must be the person who petitioned me today but didn't send me a tell. No one sent me any messages the entire time I was there except a druid who was concerned she goofed me up. I told her to take any tigers off me she wanted. I was contacted by Eunomia a few hours later when I was running off to do the hunter/forager.

I wish you would have contacted me so I didn't disrupt your experience leveling; I would be happy to accommodate both our leveling in the zone. I'm sure we would have worked it out without a petition.

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."
