Actually most crimes have an intent (mens rea) and action (actus rea) component and both need to be proven (in most western countries) for someone to be liable for punishment.
Not being a smart ass with that comment, I have accidentally trained people running to zone line and I don't think I should get in trouble for it just because I did it. I think at the end of the day, if you see a sk, monk, necro killing crap nearby you should be expecting they might FD at some time and if its that big of a deal you should move elsewhere.
just my opinion.
As to petition, been waiting a week but since GM's are doing this for free I really don't mind.

Meh. Even though your character "dies," no physical harm happens, so you aren't talking about a crime here, training would most likely be considered a tortuous offense. You are suffering harm in lost time/XP or whatever, but that can theoretically be made well with financial restitution.
So, under negligence, does the FD class have a duty of care to others or are they allowed to flop their mobs around w/o disregard? The restatement doesn't say anything about Everquest.
ETA: My whole point was that mens rea and actus rea aren't going to apply outside of the criminal scope and I don't think people are getting locked up fo EQ training yet.
