Never trust a puller that has a pre-made "TRAIN" macro button. The elite pullers are the ones that train so rarely they are genuinely surprised when it happens and have to type all that shit out manually.

On the 3rd hand, the difference between life and death with a train like that can be 3 seconds of looking away, happens to the best of us.

The train is not the problem, that happens all the time, not calling the train is not even it, the response of them being justified for the train and the fact that I was in the wrong for asking them to shout next time is the "problem".

But then again we are in R&F so you know... lol

Only trains in high-level zones I've seen on p99-blue in the past year+ were deliberate trains caused by Enchanters or (more frequently) Bards who couldn't tolerate the notion of sharing anything in "their" zone. I regard such behavior as distinct from the more generic dungeon trains that occur when a group overpulls more than they can handle and has to beeline for the exit. The latter sort of train is effectively part of the game.

WTB a real train rnf post I can't even taste these watered down gypsy tears...

Idk, I felt like the first post was pretty good overall :)

I still don't see why you made this post...You got trained in upper guk, maybe next time note the pile of bodies on the ground and the signs on the wall that say train x-ing.

Imagine writing lengthy comments like this about having to walk a couple feet to the ZL

In Mistmoore I’ve been trained by other people, only to reach the zone line and get cursed out on the other side like somehow surviving the train someone else pulled makes me the antagonist. I have so many key binds that having a train macro set up isn’t really realistic, especially when I’m not pulling any mobs and not really anticipating being trained by other players.

There’s some places where you actually expect to get trained to. Hanging out at a zoneline is almost a guaranteed way to get trained. For instance, camping main room in Unrest is almost a guaranteed way to get trained. Big difference between someone pulling a train way out of the way to your camp and pulling one to the zoneline.

People generally respond with hostility when approached with hostility. I distinctly have a memory of seeing someone else’s train kill an entire pond group in Mistmoore and since I was a Cleric I fully planned on rezzing them. When I zoned out on the other side waited a naked Druid saying thanks for the train, I lost my level etc. Suddenly I could care less about rezzing this guy.
