If you put this "highjumping guard" at the entrance to the village it will wreck any possibility of flying to get inside the village. It's already impossible to fly into the mountain villages and if the people who put the guards up arnt stupid, its impossible to sprint past.
That's the idea. Why allow putting guards in villages if it's trivial to bypass them and there's no way to counter that trivially easy technique? Guards being unable to handle levels is inexplicable both IC and OOC; this is the ideal time to address it. (Whether that be as a mob or an imbued song doesn't matter.)

That's...that's because he doesn't play anymore.
He's still right.

I can't fly. I already can't raid a properly guarded village. If we had highjumping guards, you might actually have to get a group to raid a village, same as most non-guardians. I know, quite the hardship.

Frankly, if I did play, and there was an entire guard system entirely bypassed with a single command, rendering what should be challenging trivial, I wouldn't do it anyway. Why bother if it's no challenge? Leave the cheap gambits for the cheap.
Maybe bard guards can convince other kinds of guards to climb down, too.

You can't raid a village becuse you can't fly. Dont screw it up for the people that can, thats just sad. Group raiding villages is for killing guards, right now all someone has to do is summon more guards and run willy nilly into the group and wipe them out. Raiding the village would then be impossible becuse you know someones comming with more guards when you start killing the ones already there.

It SHOULD be screwed up for the people who can. Just by virtue of being able to fly you shouldn't be able to do something no one else can. And it's not like the commune or city wouldn't have to pay for it to have these guards.
