What you are describing would have been considered "zone disruption" during classic live and you could wind up with a warning or suspension for that depending on what the GM saw and decided to do. If you already had one of those it could have resulted in a ban. They left "zone disruption" open ended and as a discretionary thing specificly to not have to have a rule for every little instance of douchebaggery and to have to deal with said douchebag lawyering his way around the rules.

It's not a matter of anything being handed to anyone, but players (plural) being able to actually use the content as intended. One player monopolizing an entire zone has never been intended for any zone in any era of this game. If someone was doing it and it affected entire groups of other players, particularly if it commonly resulted in them dying from trains caused by this, intentional or otherwise, it would be a more than safe bet that GMs would have stepped in on live. Here should be no different. You don't have to have a specific rule to tell people to not be assholes in every little case.

Bard AoE kiting, in fact, got nerfed on live specifically because a small minority of bards were monopolizing the more popular exp zones during primetime, by the way.
