I don't completely disagree with you, but this entire issue is in such a grey fog you're never going to get any sort of GM action short of what we currently have in place. Powerleveling isn't the issue, its people being cockgoblins.

Playing a necro, I used to camp in Misty Thicket and help out younger players who were starting out. Handing out spears, giving plat, and occasionally darknessing and fearing mobs for a select few that I was having a good chat with while FD...essentially giving them xp for next to nothing. Does that make me liable to get a surprise GM visit?

And what about high level clerics/druids/shamans/whateverthehell going to oasis docks and giving sweet buffs to newer players, yet you were unable to get there in time, allowing your competition to kill faster and possibly depriving you of some mobs. Do those people deserve to have action taken against them for taking five minutes to help out strangers?

Nothing is wrong with powerleveling in many different forms and in a top-heavy server you're bound to find it, nobody wants to have their friend start a new acct and play with them, but refuse to help them because they'd rather make them go lfg for hours because thats "the way it was intended" and for some reason helping lower level chars is as bad as two boxing.

You'll find douches everywhere, if not in oasis, youll find people taking your spawns in solB, or training your afk self in Karnors. It sucks but that's also part of the game.

TL;DR- Don't hate the game, hate the douche player
