Why are people focusing on trains? That's a very small part of what a FFA, first to engage raid policy manifests itself into. There will be trains, yes -- but at the end of the day, with no GMs pulling all the strings, training is a two way street. It's very easily done. If you train the shit out of someone else, guess what -- it's coming back. So civility does emerge. This apocalyptic scenario where every guild just repeat trains each other into oblivion doesn't, didn't, never will exist. It's counter-productive. Trains would only be used strategically, and usually denied by the person that carried them out. Just like in live. And just like in live, there will probably be one guild that does train regularly, and that guild will have a terrible reputation and be black-balled by the rest of the major guilds. In fact, that guild will probably have it the worst, as they will be getting return service from 2, 3, maybe even 4 guilds at a time. Which, again, would lead to civility. Reputation and inter-guild relationships would become much more important.

The current system sucks the soul out of end-game EQ. It's completely trivial and completely boring. It wasn't meant to be that way.

Agreed. Two way street. Gun in each hand. Civility will emerge out of common interest. If you defect, you risk losing more in the future. Right now the guns belong in the hands of the GMs and we're enforced on how to play. We need to put the guns in the hands of the players and let them go head to head.

Just my opinion.
