The problem with an even higher straight XP bonus is that it trivializes the investment of time required to level a character. This reduces the effectiveness of suspensions and bans. All the hardcore folks can push the limits of cheating / rule breaking because it would only take them a day or two to level up another character.

Ban persona's.
It's easy to tell if someone's rolled a new toon, especially now in our day of TS/Vent. If they do, just reban them and keep doing it until they stop making accounts and respect the time duration of their banning, or if it's permanent, then they have to find a new server to play on.
They get their account banned and get told to not show up on the serve again for x month(s), if they're found out again then the ban resets and another month gets added. It won't matter if you could get to 50 in a week if you wind up having to play Sisyphus over and over again not when you piss the GMs off and violate the rules, but when they merely discover that you're back on the server.
Further enforce it by using the same rules that apply to this RMT thing: If you know someone that got perma banned is playing again, you either tell the GMs about it or you're a party to rule violations and get a suspension if it's found out that you kept your trap shut.
All the usual suspects roll together. We all know who rolls in the major guilds, GMs just need to snoop around after one gets their account banned and suddenly their guild gets a new name. Push to talk to this person, most of all in vent to verify if they are actually someone new. If not, then they get another account banned.
The trash on this server are children, treat them like it.
Little Timmy keeps hopping out of bed and not wanting to sleep then you keep putting him in it without acknowledging him until he finally learns that he's not going to stay up late and finally decides to stay in the damn thing and close his eyes until he's told to get up.
Those that somehow manage to keep anon will still suffer harsh punishment because they can't go around flaunting their beloved personalities anymore but always fly under the radar.
Imagine this happening to one of the big names, like Smedy getting the hammer, choosing to play anon and never getting to play around with his video schtick anymore?
I know for a fact many of you have massive egos that are wedded to your EQ personalities. Forcing you to strip yourself of your beloved personas would be even worse than somehow permanently banning you from making new accounts.
