Usually if I'm training, I don't have time to be typing out some message and I don't train frequently enough that it warrants creating a hotkey. I just apologize after the fact. /shrug

There's no need to strawman literally no one here thinks that repeatedly training over and over is an excusable thing.
I feel like you've never been in Mistmoore or Unrest :P

Personally I appreciate the heads up. Some guy just trained right past my group in Befallen tonight with not a shout or ooc to be seen. Got everybody killed.

As a guy who works in China, yeah it's all about liability. A few years ago people used to say if you hit somebody, just finish the job. It's cheaper to pay for a funeral then legal fees/liability.

sorry if you are going to sit in the hallway infront of lord to maximize your pulls instead of tucking away. in a safe spot, actually maximizing exp with longer pulls to avoid the exp loss of the constant trains. You are playing the game wrong.

This has been a public service announcement from hey, learn to play.

I think that you cannot read. I covered the non-incompetence in my post you quoted.

Competitive play in a 20 year old game that you already lost 1000's of times in 100's of pop up classic servers? I play competitively in competitive games. IE FPS and Mobas. But sure be competitive in a PVE game. Where the competition who wins everything doesn't have jobs or family or saved up their weeks of vacation for a launch of a video game.

You want to point out my personal experience and not getting passed it? Let me elaborate. There are essentially 4 types of trains. 1. Ench charm breaks during a red mob in a pet group. Which happens a lot since there are tons of enchanters doing this (which isn't classic). 2. Same group keeps training over and over because they can't handle the area they want. 3. Occasional train due to really bad pull, LD, or being trained themselves (most people, including myself, are very understanding and forgiving on this one). 4. Melees leaving the zone after a group break and just taking every mob on the way by with them. Unfortunately most trains are 1, 2, and 4 and not 3. And when a zone is being trained multiple times an hour... it's almost always the same people leading the train. Correct me if I am wrong... but category 3 is usually the people who announce train.

it's almost like i smell classic launch is to hard for people, Did you guys not expect dungeon trains like crazy? only 4% of the people i have ran into in guk are anything but do nothing sandbag exp leachers. They don't know how to play the game. Did you take that into account when you choose the most populated dungeon on antonica?

Cause there are plenty of spots to exp, where u dont reverse exp.... its actually faster to get less exp per kill than die to constant trains. Again i will say.

This has been a public service announcement by, hey learn to play.

1 should essentially fall into the same bucket as 3. It's just the occasional bad luck situation.
