Actually, the classic Play Nice Policy was far stricter than the one here. If two people disputed a mob and it wasn't clear whose it was, the GM forced them to random and then moved on. If someone got an item they were camping and someone else wanted it, the first person was similarly forced to move on (and not just if it was LORE, the way it is here).
Like many of the "play nice policy" rules here this has nothing to do with classic vs. not classic. It has everything to do with the resources and limits of our all volunteer CSR staff vs. live/classic which had paid GMs and "paid with free EQ" guides.

But like you said, it has to be realistic with P99's staff ability to police these things. It's just not going to happen. And you may think those play nice policies were ever enforced, but only one time since playing from day one did I ever see a guide try to control and actually enforce it. They gave up after about half an hour and logged out. It was Derlzna with like 30-40 people trying to kill her. Guides usually didn't show up for hours and then didn't do anything but run their mouths. Getting GMs to show up could be 2-3 times longer, long after the camping situations and players involved had completely changed.
What was supposed to happen is that one group got a kill on the named mob/item dropper, and then the other belligerent group got the next one. Back and forth. but never saw it enforced, and only once saw it attempted.
