Training in VP is an issue that is on the fence for me; I think it's a much more difficult issue to reach a consensus on.
Thoughts?

The massive Variance this server has is not classic, but it is nice that raid mobs are allowed to drift around the clock so they are sometimes in prime-time for non-US folks. Personally I'd like pre-announced (like 2-7 days notice?) full respawn either a) every other week and does not affect normal timers or b) once per month that resets all spawn timers. But do not always have the full respawn at the same time of day, just give adequate notice so people can be on.
My reason for being against training in VP is that training allows VP capable guilds to kill targets outside VP first and save VP targets for when its convenient. Killing spawns when its convenient is:
1) counter-philosophy to Variance (Sirken says Variance keeps guilds from pushing spawns to "off-hours" as Nihilum on Red does)
2) Reduces the chance for other guilds to get raid mobs because VP guilds do not have to focus on VP and can focus efforts elsewhere
3) Makes VP different than every other zone in the game
