People didn't sign up on blue to get trained or killed by other people.

That being said - it can and has been taken to extremes. A happy medium should be found; begging the GMs for this is probably not the way to do it. Why not reach out to the other guilds and offer them something if this training bothers you so much? Perhaps give them an opportunity to kill a dragon like Silverwing or Xygoz if they agree to leave you alone on PD and Druushk?

All I am saying is that players - instead of flaming eachother and playing forumquest - can easily fix these situations with a little give and take...
You're assuming that both sides are comprised of rational people that are willing to negotiate without any intervention. A reasonable person might see better use for their time rather than spending a 12 hour stint in Veeshan's Peak "protecting" their guild's interest in waiting for a dragon to spawn. The type of person willing to spend hours and days training other people without a dragon even being activity engaged or attempted will just grind each other out for hours and days at a time. Until one side gives up. The disparity between wait it takes to kill a dragon in VP and wait it takes to disrupt a raid is quite large; 2-4 people can cause hundreds of person-hours of grief with very little effort when VP is populated with the appropriate wurm or dragon spawns.
