Bard swarm kiting or zone disruption?

[Eisai]

Thousands of dkp have been awarded to bards for swarming in com while grouped with a 40+ cleric/rogue/warrior. Which allowed them to bid very high on contested drops. Plus all the cash/item loot. The only thing they were asked for was to take that shit outside so it doesn't disrupt group play. Unfortunately a few didn't care and their example led to more and more mimics. What once was a 3am problem became an all day affair.

Either way; i think instead of a rants and flames post that will never get attention there should be a petition made seeking a clear definition of what is swarm kiting. I can't imagine that they intend to make group play suffer for what a few selfish soloists have earned for their class.

The funny thing is a bunch of these bards would take ages to kill their kite, often dieing yet refuse offers of help in AoEing the swarm down faster.
