Just because you never petitioned when someone was stealing your camp, doesn't mean nobody else did.

I answered 5-10 petitions a day that were camp/raid disputes.

The idea of a community blackballing a jerk works well if they're not self-sufficient and/or in a guild full of people who are either equally jerk-like or don't care about outsider opinions of their members.

We could always run an experiment and have a "no holds barred" week or two on the server and see how well this "I shun you!" thing works when you're being steamrolled and KSed.

Better yet, when you attribute a puller's actions to their entire group and start blackballing a cleric that has no idea their pullers is taking mobs from someone else's camp.

Sure, more people will have a fair shot at things that are currently over-camped, but I'm willing to bet you there will be constant trains. Even WITH the threat of warnings/suspensions/bans, people continued to train. Do you think they'll show as much restraint if the GM staff says "okay, all mobs are fair game now, we won't intervene anymore."?
