Bind Camping = NO.
Personally I think its silly to consider having this, really the only time this happens is when someone is stupid enough to go afk, or there is exploitation through pvp xp gains from killing them over and over. If you arent afk or exploiting, then why do you keep staying logged on to get killed over and over?
Who gets off on killing afk people?
If your getting legitly bind camped, you cant do shit but log out so thats pretty lame to get forced out of the game. If someone is corpse camping then at least you can still chat to friends to get them to help you or talk to the people on your body to convince them to leave.
Is there a good reason to bind camp someone? Ever? (being a dick to them doesn't qualify as a good reason to me)
Training = NO.
The real issue is that you can't stop people from training. The game is kind of designed with trains in mind, they happen on accident all the time, if you are overwhelmed what other options is there to run to a zone for some classes. With trains being allowed, 1 bard can ruin a raid of 40 people from a train. The issue isnt so much with people in zones grouping or leveling, but more with raids for me. Thats where big problems come up, when people get together to raid, they can be pvped, which is legit. But one or two guys taking out 50 because they can run fast or FD is a big waste of time for the other 40 people who dont play a bard or a class that can fd and go after that person and pvp them so they cant train everyone else. Those two people's fun doesn't equal the 50 trying to raid. Those few players most likely wouldnt have a legit reason to be in that zone since the 40 people came in to raid. If you want to contest a zone, or a raid mob, the way to do it is pvp, and this supports the pvp enviroment as well.
I think when 40 people are gathered waiting to raid and 3 people are stopping them from having a good time would be worth a GM's to come in and stop it.
Most importantly this can subvert the pvp level rules. A 60 can easily train a group of level 10s in blackburrow and grief them for hours if training is allowed, where if its not, that 60 has to get on a level 2-18 to actually do anything to those guys. Again, promoting legit pvp.
