I agree. I have been on both sides of the GMs over my time here.
One time, a GM showed up because of a camp dispute at Fungi King in Sebilis. My group got to camp while it was empty and started clearing. Another group claimed they were there (despite all the mobs being very alive) and petitioned us. The GM resolved this issue by telling us both to /random, and the winner got the camp rights. Once we lost the roll, the GM warned us that if we didn't leave, we'd get temporary account suspensions.
Another time, I was being blatantly KSed by a bard who was mad I tagged mobs off of his 25+ mob swarm. A GM showed up, and suspended him immediately.
And yet another time, when I was part of Kingdom, the guild got a 7-day raid ban and we were told we could not enter ToV (couldn't even pass through to get to Plane of Mischief) because one of the Kingdom UN Speakers asked for clarification on a petition ruling we filed (and lost) for being trained by scummy Castle.
Immature and Churlish. Best bet is to just not play the fuckin server, tbh - which has worked well for me since early 2025.

I've been on the server for over 10 years, and I have done quite a bit of raiding. Most of my raiding was done in Aftermath, which was a top guild on the Blue server at the time.
Personally I have never had a GM show up for me or my grpup. My philosophy is to simply not fight with the occasional asshole that shows up. 90% or more of my ingame experiences with other players have been pleasant. If someone strong arms their way into a camp, just find another camp for the day. The vast majority of players don't do this. I would only consider petitioning someone if they were strongarming a specific camp every day. In that case I would have video evidence ready. But again, I've never seen someone do that every day for a week straight at any camp.
In terms of raiding, there is a lot of drama. If you don't want to deal with it, just don't worry about it. I had a lot of fun with Aftermath, and I didn't let myself get involved in the various dramas. If your guild gets suspended from something for a week, who cares? Do something else for a week. I have never been in a guild that got punished to the point where it could never do any raiding.
