I still think the big problem is too much GM involvement, no offense to you guys. If raid guilds are training or ks'ing one another why do the GMs get involved 100% of the time? Like whoever said above reputations will be formed based on actions and not what people say or how they act on the forums.
A huge difference between live and P99 is the accessibility of GMs/Devs 24/7. On Morell Thule our GM was named Linor who was involved with major issues and very fair. Linor spent more of his time dealing with bugged characters/mobs than babysitting people who cry wolf anytime a raid mob pops. Thing is, I could never imagine seeing Linor hanging out in a chat program with a guild. The few servers who had GMs that were also playing on their server caused server specific GMs to get nuked, they were too close to the people and situations at hand. Bias was able to be formed and in some forms straight up corruption.
Why don't you guys just take a step back from the whole scene for awhile and let us police ourselves? Then you can focus on development instead of Angry_Raider_00702 bitching up a storm.
