Default TRAIN Warnings

I've been grouped at the Upper Guk Froglok Lord room a few times, and often times the group ends up saying "Run!" "Train it!"
Now I personally like getting a heads up when someone is training past me, so I often go to the one way entrance/exit of Lord room (Warden Camp) and say/shout TRAIN WARDEN.

What this has resulted in is me getting cussed out, petitioned, people sending me hate tells.
I even had a GM come up to me today, and after I explained said "ok np" and poofed.

A group mate said in China it's better to leave it alone when you see a baby on the crosswalk due to liability issues.
Is China right about Hong Kong? I mean we have to maximize our profit margin right?

In any case, it's definitely not helping out my reputation. I've had friends telling me "My group hates you"

Should I keep warning people, or just ghost em?

Most players seem to assume that whoever calls a train must have started it. For that reason I pretty well never call trains when I see them anymore. Don't see it as worth the fuss.

It was my understanding that training out without warning was a suspendable offense? I don't see how there's any choice in the matter. Even if it's not required, I think it's pretty bad form to not let people know.

The people don’t hate you because your calling the train. They hate you because you are training them. If you train out enough times that you thought you needed to make this post, then stop trying camps you can’t handle. Especially something like the lord, where if you try to get out, your going to take another group down with you.

If you train, you should warn people. If someone else trains you, and you also flee, and no one else has warned of the train, you should warn people. And yeah, sometimes people respond with anger. And surely we all understand why. It usually makes me very uncomfortable when others direct anger at me. Perhaps you feel the same. I think I'm getting better at not letting it upset me, though.

But there is also another option, which is, if you mess up when doing a camp and fleeing would result in training other people and causing them to die, you just stand your ground and die.

And there's even one more option, which is to play the game in an extremely meticulous and cautious way so as to minimize the possibility of having to flee. Obviously, no one can manage to do this every time, but I think many players take unnecessary risks.

The better we play, the less we train those around us.
