I think the whole point of everything that's been said is a request for a stop of further kite map nerfing.
Now since I'm a kiter too, there's some things I'd also like to say.
I agree about people kiting away the nords on full team servers. Everyone should stay in range of assist XP. However if you see a team whiping, if you're a kiter you're making sure you have enough time to escape in case everything goes lose so you can kite the rest of the nords and save your team till the next spawn or to grab a tome while you do a map circle and tome others in. So how kiting isn't supportive in full team servers? It is! As long as people use it the right way. But if map is unkitable, there's a high chance you will fail as well.
Now as part of the kiting alone or with a friend or two. That's mostly done for fun and to test your abilities of how far you can survive, and of course for possible loots as well, who wouldn't like a reward for his hard work on reaching higher waves?
And as a side note, how do you think I became that good in archery? Lots of kiting practise, and what click said you gain self-awareness, learning how nords act so you know how to attack them efficiently. As you know, lots of people complains how they can't shot bots with shields up no matter what? Well that's something to learn about, as not all bots can be headshoted with shields up, so when bot comes close and lowers his shield you shot him in head the same second and jump away for a second nord in case he's close. If you miss you'll most likely get hit or die if you don't have good armor. So yes kiting takes skill, as an archer. Pikeman is easy, he penetrates all shields and just runs and shots. But it's slower since they need to refil every wave or 2.
And what's the most fun about kiting, is how to plan your kite routes, shoting from cover to cover so you don't get shot by ranged while you run from the melee attackers. Those who try and fail sure hell don't like kiting and they support this propaganda to destroy kiting. Well you can't get good in kiting if you just try it once or twice. But this is just another style of strategies for people to have fun on trying to beat the nord invasion. WE ARE having fun doing this, why removing our fun? Makes no sense, I love full package of nord invasion involving kiting and cading. As there's many choises of what you can do! Same as different classes, if you get bored of a pikeman you go play archer a bit and then later back to pikeman or some commando fun, changing to either you wanna play some normal, hard or kick nord's butt on ragnarok, we love it all and we can decide what we want to do.
Anyways as it's been said, kiting is a game style that's a part of the game and if you're to remove it it's like removing your leg from your body or something. You'll live but you'll be cripled!

Edit: Also lets not overreact tho, as kiting isn't fully destroyed and devs are mostly trying to balance the maps even, but my post sums up the current facts that kiting is supportive to the team somtimes if used the right way and it's a part of the game so it's a request for kiting to not be picked on so hard. Kinda got tired of reading everyone repeating themselfs.
