Oops... add ", we might get to see you catch a ban on R99" to the end of that last post.

Arshis, training was never "accepted" but was also not routinely GM enforced. It was one of those things where if you were one to do it, you had to be ready for others to really loath you and dedicate time and effort into ruining your day.

Again, thats the type of thing that made EQ PvP so fun in live, that all the dynamics were open and the players were free to do as they willed.

Maybe we will get some babysitters.

man all you people trying to argue that allowing training would be *good* for the server are either seriously delusional or trolling hard

Envious · #**163** 08-26-2011, 04:14 PM

Not saying training is good, saying let the players handle it and dont let GMs interfere in any way with any facet of PvP.

Learn the fucking argument you idiots.

Teams servers training seems right (it's war and anything goes to destory the opposing factions/teams).

Not so sure really on FFA. There is a reason why MMOs coming out are teams based - it works and is the most popular, but seeing as it is already set to be FFA, then arguing is moot.

Training isn't near as bad as it used to be. Mobs don't stop and attack others you run by who are closer; sure, they get on the aggro list, but the original trainer has to zone/die/fd for the mob to break off and own others. This mechanic eliminates a lot of outdoor training potential as bards won't be the train gods (Fansy). Won't help in dungeons against FD'ers but will eliminate a lot of outdoor trainings of opportunity.
