No intentional training should be allowed

Played with and without training, healthiest servers have always had rules against it.

You're okay with bind camping, but not training?

These are the mongoloids whose opinions you need not incorporate into your decision making process.

Terrible.

People will be more apt to bind camp if there is some sort of leaderboard. I think bind camping and training should be allowed though. Neither of which are real PvP, but reputation should factor into this.

Bind Camping is fine.

Training: there's a 16 page thread on this from when we first got our PvP section. http://www.project1999.org/forums/sh...ad.php?t=33605

Really, what you rule on training won't matter in the end. Every high-end PvP engagement is going to end up in trains with the victor being whoever can camp a cleric and rez quicker. Neither fraps nor having a GM present at every battle can pinpoint who trained what.

I remember when PoHate was released on VZTZ 2.0. Even with Searyx filming the fucking event and other GMs present, untraceable trains were part of every battle. What is accidental and what is intentional. Players suiciding into mobs rather than be YT'd and not knowing if other players are too close.

It leads to GM favoritism calls when one person gets banned/suspended for training and another person does not. It will take up most of the petition queue.

With that said, I'm not sure how the alternative of having no rules on training would work out.

If anything, I'd like hard-coded rules before legal training.
