The issue is just removing play nice policy from the list of things the GM has to do. On PVP it seems like the PNP has caused massive staff burnout. So the idea is to abandon it.

Dungeons being FFA is in order to allow people to stop trainers. If training is legal and there is a fixed level range, having a low level training class like a level 1 cleric with divine aura means you can train with impertinence, so it is definitely a broken tactic.

It's always a bad corrupt tactic but involving GM's to solve it is too much. It happens on accident in real PVP, and turning real dungeon PVP into a petitionfest because something technically got "trained" is a nightmare.

I don't like intentional training either. But making the game more "no holds barred" will mean the staff can just ban cheaters and RMT guys which are gunna be the people most toxically training anyways.

Again a custom 2 teams server will go a long way to mitigate the negative impacts of training for people trying to level up. You aren't gunna be grinding in a contested zone so you will be not too subject to trains.

CUSTOM WARNING:

There might need to be a way to banish people's bindpoint like if they die at a bind point 20 times in a row they revert to original bind point in front of their starting city. Point of this is so you can bind camp a PK who otherwise wants to port in to your teams zone and train you guys on a regular basis just to be a dick without really trying to pvp, just to waste peoples time. So you bind camp him till his bind point is gone and he goes away for a longer period of time.

It's called bind deletion. It also protects bindcamped players from.....being bindcamped.

The need for this customization results from having no play nice policy.

I strongly believe the best server is just original rallos zek, but the people saying staff can't keep up with a regulated play nice EQ PVP server are probably right and I think some creative solutions need to be considered and tried.
