You're right. I'm sad to see everquest ruined by bullshit.
Bans should be for people who exploit, rmt, 2box, threaten others irl and all that good stuff. Not for pressing your attack button or casting spells.
If people should not be attacked when they are on LNS from pvp, then give them a divine aura that lasts until 5 minutes after they loot their items and is broken in case they use any ability or agro a mob. Hell, just make them ghosts so it's like WOW where there is no penalty for dying.
Regulated playstyle based on subjective evaluations from GMs in each case and based on who wants to spend the time petitioning is just dumb. Everytime someone is banned for pvp, I think it is a loss to the server. It was dumb as fuck that Andis got banned for what happened, same with the others who suffered from it yesterday.
If I log on and kill someone, I can't possibly know if he is on loot and scoot or not. Same if i zone into a new zone etc. There's just so many gray areas. The PNP is overall the same as making a law, that says you're not allowed to drive too fast on the highway, but there's no speed limit mentioned. Further, you'll get punished with the death penalty even if you did not know about it when driving too fast.
