[AMERON]

[jcTharin]

We had bard hirelings?

[AMERON]

yes...i still have a contract on one of my characters..but they are not at the vendors anymore.....i think they were goldseal only

[Esserbe]

Yep, store only.

[J1NG]

It was found that the bard hirelings were the cause for much of the lag in update 6, so Turbing removed them.

They were removed because it was hinted at that bard hirelings were causing lag issues.
The cooldown timers were long or longer than normal thus causing lag.

[Ilundel]

Bard hirelings were removed due to them causing the hireling lag moreso then the other hirelings. Or so Turbine says.

[Missing_Minds]

They were store bought only.

They were removed as a test to see how much lag they were causing the servers.

[GlorkTheInvader]

Bard Hirelings have been temporarily removed because they were causing unbearable amounts of lag on the servers. See this post by Codeshaper for details.

Bards hirelings were SO lazy they were dragging the servers down too.

Bah. Musicians.

They're just too hip to trust them near square folk like servers. They always guilt trip you into trying whatever it is they're smoking and then no-one ever gets anything done.
