A world without GM's making sure people are playing fairly is interesting and doable, but extremely discouraging for the general user.
I played on Sullon Zek during live. High levels routinely were killing low levels, but not always. Anyway, there was no GM intervention at all. People did train each other. Sullon Zek probably had the lowest population of all servers. In fact, I'm certain it did. That was because of frequent griefing, a bad economy that lagged behind every other server, and there were no GM's. Nonetheless, I liked the atmosphere. But it's not practical for most users.
Maybe you're right, but I think you underestimate how many people would use this to grief others. I don't think you can compare a work environment to EQ, either. Players don't hold themselves to the same standard.

I agree with you and previous posters saying that an absolute lack of GM intervention on the server would lead to Anarchy. However my OP was targeted at raid encounters only. Fear,Hate,Sky all would be "Get Along, or Get the Fuck Out" more or less. World spawn dragons would be handled in a similar way.
I agree that the internet brings out the worst in people as a whole. The total lack of RL consequences makes even the biggest coward 6'5" and 250lbs. You call me a dickhole to my face and I'll feed you your teeth. You do it over the internet and well...not much I can do.
However, when people are not getting their daily dose of raid loot pixels due to another guild training them and vice vs I really do feel that whether they like it or not they will have to learn to work together and play nice. Otherwise no one get shits. And while all this raid drama goes on...98% of the server keeps on rolling having fun and getting even better customer service than before from the GMs because they aren't pulling out their hair listening to one whiny bitch after another in PoH.
The less rules in place the less ways shifty players can abuse them and or abuse loopholes regarding those rules. Keep it simple stupid.
