um, are u trying to imply that its impossible to lock down mobs while maintaining honorable status? or are u saying that simply the guilds TMO and FE are without honor because of the way that THEY lock down mobs?

Sorry, I'll skip the implication, allow me to directly state this:

Under the current rule set, it is IMPOSSIBLE to maintain any sort of honor and simultaneously lock down mobs.

You're only here to enforce the rules, you've made that perfectly clear; but as long as the staff condones the FTE shenanigans, the "accidental" training, starting DT cycles to stall other guild's attempts, leapfrogging, etc It is impossible to maintain any sort of honor. The "honorable" guild either a) turns the other cheek EVERY single time, or b) resorts to the same dirty tactics that are used by the competition

BDA is a 100% example of this. We have strong leadership at BDA and we were forced to push the envelope to areas that we had never considered before in order to compete. We aren't going to train people just because it's legal, we aren't going to blatantly start DT cycles to stop another guild's attempt, and we aren't going to "accidentally" train other guilds.

As long as those tactics are available for use (condoned by staff) they will be implemented by the playerbase. People will always push the envelope for pixels, just look at the fun that's being had with IP exemptions.
