This includes legitimate tactical training (no ill intent) for the purposes of raid rushing crowd control or pulling, legitimate accidental training, dubious accidental training when you should have known better (this seems to be the case) or illegal intentional training.
I played and raided eq for well over a decade prior to p99 and recently stepped into raiding here. I never saw crap like this until my time on p99.
For the guilds not firmly established in p99 ToV competition ... they’re just not going to be as experienced as the members of guilds who’ve been in there a long time and are used to the insanity.

This is basically what I was getting at. Everybody's knee jerk reaction to getting agro is to run to the zone and/or run to help, whereas the players in the hardcore guilds that participate in the madness every week have heard their officers and raid leaders say hundreds of times something along the lines of "if you get agro, run out there and die before you train everybody"
You just can't expect a player not in AM/Temp to not do what Icrit did there. Even some experienced AM/Temp players probably would have had the same knee jerk reaction.
