How courteous is it to lock up 7 spawns while damaging only 4? You did it because you could and it was convenient. The same rationale applied to the looter. Some post with a green name might wander by and talk tough but nobody is getting banned for looting scarabs.

Swarmkiting bards should ask for no quarter and receive none.

You seem to think there was a limit on the mobs and 7 mobs is all the zone has to offer. Seems like there is alot 0f hate for bards here.

I don't hate bards, I hate soloers. Go play SWTOR if you want to solo an MMO.

Totally agree. I’m not faulting Bards for using the AoE kiting strategy if they want to do so, but to then be like “well you can’t loot anything once I get through my next 4-8 mobs that I had initially tagged solely so you can’t kill them or it would be KSing” is one of the more ridiculous things I’ve seen on P99 lol.

I highly doubt any Guide or GM would penalize someone for looting your meaningless loot while you’re continuing to AoE swarm multiple other mobs that you’re keeping them from killing. Can’t have your cake and eat it too

Social mobs are gonna social. Your assumption is that the guy 8 levels above me who was looting corpses wanted to kill the greens. Or that I have all the mobs in zone "locked up" with 7 mobs...nice mental gymnastics to justify shite behavior

Hmm nice straw man considering I never said you were keeping all mobs in the zone locked up. I said you were deliberately locking up more mobs than you could damage at a time in order to ensure that other people couldn’t kill them so that you could keep your strategy to maximize your own EXP going. Which is true. It doesn’t matter whether you’re locking up 100% of the mobs in the area, the point is that you’re pulling more than you can damage to ensure other people can’t kill those mobs and then you’re whining about people looting corpses because you were busy burning down the rest of the mobs you were locking down. It’s a ridiculous complaint lol. This thread is honestly so trolly and terrible you should’ve posted it in rants and flames.

Conspiracy theory much. More than 4 mobs came due to social aggro big deal...i am trying to withhold mobs from others....what a point of view you have.

if someone is kiting more than 4, you can just tag out of their swarm. it's like free pulls.

This post seems extremely 1-sided tbh. You offer no context about the other person other than they looted the corpses. Did you even attempt to communicate with them after you saw them loot? Without context its very easy to assume the person just looted the corpses because he saw them rotting. They were on the ground long enough for him to loot so maybe he assumed whoever killed didn't care about the loot. Its very common for people to just leave corpses unlooted if they're not interested in looting shit that doesnt sell for at least a plat or more

Long story short no, there's not a bunch of people out there ninja looting bard swarms intentionally lol

No, you don't get it. If you didn't get xp or permission, you can't loot. Don't think too hard, that's the way it is.

K, go swarm kite as a bard and try petitioning “someone looted one of my kills while I was finishing the other 4-8 mobs I’d locked up” and see if you get a positive response from the staff who are not pro-swarm kiting lulz
