Not gunna lie, i'm a very responsible player. If it ever happened it was probably hysterical and so #allforgiven.
Why do I feel like Ben would train everyone given the opportunity and then log off and rant on the forums? ;)

As an enchanter i had a pretty good track record of not needing to train much, But one that stands out i remember was in Unrest, soloing the MR and a higher level wanderer came down the stairs and of course as always while soloing this happened as another lower level wanderer walked by and as the MR started to pop again and around about then my pet broke charm while dual wielding with haste.... I was fighting through and was all good until someone elses higher level train started wandering back towards the FP or somehwere like that and I ended up with a ton of mobs locked down and not enough time to pet up and reset and no where near enough mana to keep it up, but being a big headed enchanter i decided to see what happens anyways.. all the while creating the slowest moving train ever... creeping back towards the entrance while charming, fighting and mezzing mobs all the way lol... i got through a few was content to leave it there until a young pally who was I guess waiting at the front for a group or soloing bugs.. he jumped up thinking he was doing the right thing healing me and pet but made the mistake of racking up some serious agro (while mobs were mez'd) in the process... things got out of hand as they were always going to and i was telling him to bail but he was brave as hell! Because he wouldnt bail, I wouldnt either... so we just fought and fought making minimal progress until a bard came along and of course thinking he was doing the right thing threw up his attack song... well yes.. it of course was that AoE song (Enc's worst nightmare) and I am sure you can imagine how that ended... a very dead lower level Paladin, a very dead lower leve Bard and an Enchanter who zoned into DC unconcious but alive... I felt so bad for the pally, gave him some cash for his efforts because i couldnt get a res for him and explained to the bard mez and AoE dont get along very well :p
Not quite a terrible train story, but a memorable one lol!
Okay, so my story is from Vanguard in the T1 section of the Pantheon. This was just after "POTA" became a level 50+ area, and my husband and I were trying to do the T1 trials with our guild. We had no idea what we were doing. So we tried the Finch trial. Now for those not in the know, the Finch Trial had you pick one of a certain number of chests. (not going into all the details here). The trial required that you get a sword to spawn, kill the sword, and return the sword to Finch. The sword was really hard to kill if you weren't well prepared (We weren't). The sword had a timer on it, I can't remember exactly what it was, but I think you only had 2 minutes to kill it. After that, it would start killing random players with one shot. Well, we got the sword, awesome, we started killing it, not so awesome. We didn't have the DPS to take it down in time. So instead of risking losing all our buffs, we decided to run it off, let it reset and we'd try with more DPS in the group.
Normally in Vanguard, quest spawned mobs like this had a golden shield, meaning only you and your group could pull/aggro them. They would ignore everyone else (To prevent people from taking your quest-required spawn). We found out that the sword did not behave this way - we found this out because we ran it into a guild that was killing Zaseh, one of the infamous "chickens". Now keeping in mind this was shortly after POTA opened, people didn't know the "quick way" (exploit) to kill the chickens. Let me briefly explain this for people that didn't have to go through this hellish raid. Zaseh put up rune buffs, so that as you worked up the runes, more and more of your damage was mitigated. After the 10th rune, it would spawn some mobs, you had to kill them, then drag the chicken over to a big crystal and the crystal would do all the damage to the chicken. This process literally took hours - at least it did for the raid that was working on it.
We ran that sword right through their raid as we had no idea that guilds killed the chickens on the sides of the hall (The way we were running). As soon as the sword leashed on us, it started, literally, one shotting their raiders. They couldn't even stop what they were doing to kill the sword as it was locked to 6 random players in their raid (I guess the first six to hit it? or get on the aggro list?) and it was mostly the healers that got the aggro. So then it killed their healers. And it just started working its way through their whole raid - wasting hours of their time.
I still feel bad about it.

I remember on a Kael raid a long time ago we were going down to the arena area and we pulled too many giants and we all were running back to the zone out. I being a monk used my whirlwind discpline that riposted every front attack for 9 seconds. I remember I told everyone to keep running while I stood there, poped my disc and held off 20+ giants giving people 9 seconds to run away. The combat spam was insane lol. I hit FD right after the disc ended. I felt like a true legend.
