Why not just practice with the real thing? What benefit do highly artificial situations bring?

A controlled environment ensures you can repeat the a scenario multiple times, especially one that you might need practice with, for example MCG agile vs. charging rexo JH in a stairwell, most noobs might think that the MCG will win every time. But it's a lot more difficult then it looks when facing a GOOD JH user as opposed to the generic NC noobs

Basic dueling can allow you to set your sensitivity to where you want it and allow you to get strafing down.

TRx had several training methods for 1v1's, 2v1's, 2v2's, 3v3's, 4v4's, (and more), air duels, improving sensitivity/aim, improving strafing, and so much more. We would train when the options available at the time were limited, so we'd practice. The end result? TRx was easily considered one of the best team outfits in the game and infamously known as being cheaters (which isn't true, but it's funny). We had a solid mix of grunts, pilots, and support certs when we were active.

Effective what did Mars end up tripping off then? I remember the huge shit storm that was created on the forums when he was banned. Even so he still just made magic, hell I saw him on Mars earlier this summer (first time in ages). I am not saying he hacked. Maybe every time I came across him I swear we almost killed each other a even amount of times. With that I don't think he was hacking otherwise the ratio would be far more then that.

Back on topic. Yes training does help even if you are doing it with noobs or as Effective pointed out one of the most well known outfits in PlanetSide. Even if this isn't in the game originally I would love to see it added down the road.

Brewko, in his infinite wisdom, told mars he was supposedly flying according to the appeal. Turned out TRxMarz was also flying, and that no one ever came forward and said "I saw the real mars flying!" Mars reason for being banned changed twice after that, I don't know the full story as it happened way before I joined TRx.

However, seeing Brewko wrongly ban Kazzo over the BR32 bug, even though another GM told him it was fine to keep playing, made me very skeptical towards Brewko's credibility as a CSR/GM. Took 3 weeks before Raijin noticed and stepped in to have a look, he finally unbanned kazzo at that point, because Kazzo hadn't done anything wrong, Brewko was just being a stubborn prick. Once Brewko was moved out of PS to a different job, Mars was able to get his ban removed.
