Little GM intervention as possible

I guarantee if I play enough, and training is allowed, I can single handedly get the rule changed by unremitting persistence. I guarantee I can make people quit. I can do it just to prove a point. Why not make trains the rule of thumb in encountering any other player if there are no rules?

In PoP on live, I could have destroyed raids left and right if I didn't feel an ethical responsibility as a member of the server.

You want a server without ethics? That's fine.

But take into account that anything can happen. Training can be taken to an extreme. And I am extremely good at doing that. Guilds can be created simply to train; guilds that want nothing, not loot, not money, not YT-- a guild not looking for anything rational, a guild that just likes watching people squirm. A guild like that could virtually create a stagnant Norrath. Who has qualms doing that if there is no rule against it? It would be strategy.

Sounds like a blast.

Best form of this argument yet, and amen to that.

GM's need to enforce no training and no hacking, nothing else.
