Q11: What about training away trash mobs?
A: This is acceptable, but if you choose to use this tactic, you must keep in mind that you are responsible for your trains/mobs. Meaning if your trainer dies, and the mobs go wipe another guild, that’s still training. When the time comes to purposely drop the train, make sure to communicate and coordinate with any other guilds in the zone.

I think theres a big difference sometimes in creating a purposeful train and when sometimes Everquest is a a really crazy frustrating game where shit happens when 250 people are bouncing aggro all over a raid zone
That giant train which buzzed around was not some majestical planned ball of terror - it was the result of alot of mistaking happening all over the zone which got mobs out of place and running all over.
At that point - its impossible to identify any one 'trainer' bc aggro has now been bounced around, this rule is referring to trains like Fearplane etc where you send kiters to ball up shit to get to boss mobs, that is not what is happening in ToV for some of this. Its literally pulls simply failing and shit pathing back.
I think guilds should be well aware where they position themselves and if they are in line with simple unaggro'd mobs walking back to their spawn point - that doesnt seem to be all that useful of a location
For example in that video - it seems that door is very very risky - its a prime spot when it works, but the wrong nub opens the door at the wrong time should not be the fault for a pull that was alrdy over and failed and simply pathing back.
This is an in general statement not really specific to yesterday bc that was a crazy mess. I dont think you can outlaw pulling out of the wings bc lets be frank with 300 people in the zone we cannot have all of us on top of one another in the same spot. That will also cause issues and no one wants that. Pulling mobs keeps EQ fresh and creative - so you cant simply award the mob to the guild poopsocking the spawn point.
