Funny you should bring this up. I have a level 17 druid, and a level
12 bard. While I'm well aware both can kite effectively, (the druid
more so), I have not ever done it. This has, of course, slowed down
both char's progress considerably. Verant may not consider it
exploitation, and thus, "legal", but I do not feel it is in the
spirit of the game. I don't and won't condemn anyone else for
kiting, however.

I still refuse to kite. I don't let the druid in my party (druids
kite
better
than anyone) kite. I still think it's lame when I see someone
kiting, but I
understand why they do it.
The question is, am I alone in my beliefs here? How do other bards
out
there
feel about this?
