its inevitable.
the freedom that makes EQ great is what allows folks to be jerks. its what allows folks to be genuinely "good" to each other as well. this is why i really like EQ. take the freedom away from the players to be good or bad to one another and you wind up with a cookie-cutter bland mmo (like the ones we've been playing for the last dozen years).
muscling someone out of a camp (or into respecting one) by being a jerk isn't against the rules. at least, in and of itself, it isn't against the rules. training, KSing, etc would be (go play on red) against them. its classic. if there weren't folks /ooc'ing about trains and KSs it wouldn't be real EQ.
I.E. Being a jerk is allowed in EQ...it can suck, but its a dimension of EQ that makes it more real---and ironically, enhances the quality of relationships you can form with your actual friends in game.
