Perform: what are your initial thoughts?

Nope, good thing too, or the spam would be unbearable.

-There's no way to turn off performances for those who don't want to hear it. A lot of times, people turn off the game's music so they can listen to their own and they might not want to hear a bunch of people strum their instruments. Or there are those who just might not want to hear it, especially if multiple people are playing in an area.

Also not a fan that we can't mute all bards.

There is a way to turn off performances, it's in the settings. It also prevents other types of noise like Holy/Unleash spam, crafting sounds and emote sounds.
