In AO we had a saying... "Be a man, die where you stand." Nothing applies more in a zone with 300+ people in it, or at least should... but this is not the case in FFXI. Seems almost everybody trains things, so naturally, if my PT picks up and runs, I run with them. Sux when you hit annother group on the way by, but the bottom line is that noone's ever turned around and died to save me and I'll not likely do the same for anyone else. What I have, though, is go hang out in lowbie zones and kill trains as they head for the zone, my little way of showing appreciation for all the help I've ever recieved, as well as give thanks to everyone's patience from those times where it was my turn to train.

Now... in regards to people training for the purpose of killing you or your PT specifically, you can have them banned for it, but you require irrevocable evidence. If you ever see this happening to you again, have some of your filters turned off so you can see them casting their spells and spam screenshots, be sure to get a shot of the chat log, too, and BE SURE TO USE CIVIL LANGUAGE DURING THE PROCESS. Submit that to a GM and he'll get a *strict* reprimand, or maybe even a ban.
