In my new perfect world there are no GM interventions. You don't like Guild Z training your shit? Train them back. For awhile its going to be a cluster fuck of trains. RnF will actually be worth reading again.

However, in the long run while this shitstorm is going on the intelligent players are going to realize, "shit man....we haven't killed anything worthwhile in weeks....all we do is train each other"
I have a problem with the assumption that every guild would train in retaliation. I'm pretty sure divinity wouldn't resort to that, nor would a lot of other guilds, which means that this kind of system would just allow the guilds with the bigger douchebags to take advantage of the guilds with nice people in them. And that sucks.

I also take issue with the assumption that people would just commonly realize how stupid and futile it is to continue on such a shitstorm, because it assumes that players are all rational actors who would do what's in their best interest. This is just empirically false though, since players are willing to poopsock, which is not rational and is in no one's interest.
