...We do not intentionally train, except what we used to do in VP. Which, again was also within the rules.

...accounts being banned, and though we groused about the accounts we shared being suspended we took it and dealt with the GM's on a per-account basis because TMO, by and large, plays within the rules...

The areas I have underlined expose the reasoning why some people are being extremely cautious in these negotiations. What may appear to be a "chip" is nothing more than this...
caution. Chest is one of many players who have experienced first hand what can happen when rules have been exposed to the ingenuity of the human brain when driven by a common goal in an environment where resources are too few to meet demand.
While we may be negotiating a more fair way to "share" these resources, the reality is that the common problem will still remain... there just isn't enough content to meet demand. If historical evidence tells us anything, and as you have clarified in your post, it can be expected that people will look for ways to bend these new rulesets to their favour using exposed grey areas all over again.
By your own post, you have exposed how this happens, the "why" is where guild philosophies disagree. What some consider acceptable behaviour, others do not.
Through these negotiations, it is the responsibility of everyone to ensure that grey areas are identified and clarified before anything is set in stone.
