Why is it allowed in VP though? Doesn't that constitute a form of griefing or harrassment? Should be prohibited either way.

It most certainly does, but the GMs have decided that it is appropriate behavior since P99 does not use the Play Nice Policy or Non-CSR policy from Live, but a custom rule set.

I think of VP training and variance as a social experiment just for the staff to see how long groups of people are willing to sit in a spot waiting for a dragon or how many person-hours will be expended in the name of killing said dragon. Some days it only reason I can come up with for continuing to allow the behavior.

Wait a minute, you're ALLOWED to deliberately train entire raid groups in high-level zones like VP and Planes? There's no rule against it?

The reasons the rules have been made this way is because of the nature of VP. The zone is dysfunctional and in a competitive manner it would be highly difficult to not train an opposing raid. This would lead to lots petitions over accidents or "accidents" which would result in the GM's picking and choosing what is an actual accident.
They basically decided to let it be open to avoid that.

It doesn't seem to matter if trains are accidental or not in other zones. If you train another guild with your pull, learn to pull better or engage the mob elsewhere besides the entrance.

Or, we can keep as is and have guilds train each other into oblivion. Whatevs.

In my opinion, it takes/would take more skill to race/engage dragons in VP faster than the competition without training eachother.

Is it safe to assume that the proprietors of this server are in said elite guild[s]?

Chest so mad about the 15-minute snare "rule" because one TMO pal schooled two people he thought should win.

Again, I only cared because judgment calls mid fight shouldn't dictate the rules. The downside of having a bard on the team is that if the fight were to go late you'd get snared and the massive bard advantage would be negated, mostly. Having that disadvantage erased mid fight at the whim of the staff was shady.

If the initial rules were "we will only snare you if the fight is boring" then I'm sure we'd have seen more bards. Even then, "boring" is a judgement call.

I didn't like the way the harm touch resetting went, but you didn't/don't see me crying up a fucking storm over it.
