1. You are not dying to this every day.

Maybe because they figured out a way to avoid it. Go ahead, argue "there's no way to avoid being killed by people training NPCs."

2. You forget that on Live serial-training was a bannable offense.

Sure, and it was enforced with the same lackluster they enforced many other things. It's true that your CD Key was tied to your account, but without data on how often and how many people they actually banned, it's difficult to say if this is a valid point.

3. You misunderstand the concept of "wanting EQ to be hard." The game should be and is hard for various reasons, but scrubs training you repeatedly, on purpose, should not be one of them. I have no problem with accidents, noobs not calling a train, etc. I do have a significant problem with momentarily going AFK to pull boiling water off the stove, for example, and coming back dead and then grudgingly paying for a rez only to find myself getting killed again the MOMENT I rez. That's not "hard," that's retarded.

No, it's hard. When dealing with individuals, you have to remember that there are really only two things to consider - what a man can't do, and what a man can do. They can train you. Therefore, you need to utilize your "can" and figure out a way to avoid it. I frequently see evil-types hiding in corners, being more alert than others, FD'ing off to the side (if they're necro/sk), or only visiting the EC Tunnel when they have a sale to make, not sitting there for hours on end like dodos. Human/goodie alts are fine for that.

My question is this - why are you at the EC Tunnel? How long do you stay there? Why do other evil people who actually sit at the EC tunnel for long periods of time (who aren't necros or SKs) apparently find ways to deal with it which are somehow impossible for you?

EC is and should continue to be one of the more enjoyable aspects of the game. However, that does not include scrubs purposely training Rinna/Slate repeatedly with impunity.

And it's not too hard to figure out a way to deal with it. You'll just have to do that.

If the GM's nerf Slate/Rinna or something similar which negates the problem, great - but at least until then, you should try to cope (which you claim is impossible).
