NA have cracked the code JP use to get GM's on their side : FFXI General Discussions

You learned about trains fast young grasshoppa.

Honestly though, trains is a part of the game design, I honestly believe that people who camp zonelines DESERVE to be trained. (Being roadkilled like pohyu is of course a sad sideeffect of trains.)
That doesn't mean I feel training others on purpose is ok though.

Trains are annoying but yes they are part of the game, and they do help you to be a better player. When i played my blm at lower lvls i always kept the camera unlocked to watch my and partys back in efforts to handle links. Now trains 95% of the time arent an issue cause i dont party in normal zones anymore i build a pty and go to a fairly empty zone. As for intentional MPK'ing well yes they are makeing the game worse for ppl but i enjoy watching an attempted mpk go wrong and the mpker ends up dieing. Besides usualy you dont see that much mpking above 40 and before that if you cant make up one death in a few min your in the wrong party. pre 40 exp i think is less then 7k which means with no bonuses ie. moghancements or raises your looking at 700 exp loss thats 3 kills cupcakes consider it a momentary skillup pty for 10 min. ok im rambleing(sorry) im going to bed now. -.-

i think trains can be fun, but in a non populated area, i make trains too from time to time, but i kill them off, its fun, and it passes the time while you are LFG

LOL

Cant disagree with any of those.

MPK someone because they are evil 40 times is a little harsh though.

I do think anyone can avoid trains with a little pratice. But to avoid for hours on end can get a little annoying.

Only time I see a problem with trains is when done with the purpose of hurting other players for enjoyment.

That's where some new gaming technology should come into play....Hopefully the next generation of games will let the mobs follow you from one area to the next. Not just have you (in the mobs eyes) vanish into nothingness. Maybe have the city guards battle the mobs if you get into town or somthing also.

that would be a disaster.... think of someone pulling a behemoth king to the sandorian entrance.... i think zoning is good for now, it would be fun without it only if there werent people who train to kill for fun

no there was another relly high lvl nm that only spawns for quest in west ron and it takes a couple 70+ to kill it and some !@#$%^&* zoned it to sandy gate! was quite funny since there were like 20 bodies outside the gate^^
