It's the same, but it still requires staff to review the "tapes" and then make a judgement call based on that alone.
The way it is now, players can just solve their own issues and go about their business leaving the volunteer staff to tend to the bulk of the server's population.
Less stress for Staff = staff last longer. The server's history is littered with staff becoming too involved with the endgame and ultimately ending up with staff quitting/fired.
p99 is probably more peaceful now than it has ever been, both staff wise and player wise.

While I am all for making the GMs job as easy as possible... The players should never govern completely on their own... Especially when it is the end game of the server. A lot of greed gets involved and no one wants to share. SO instead of being reasonable with each other people simply train and try to horde everything for themselves. Instead of working things out reasonably we end up with griefing in all guilds that enter that zone. Now I am not saying it is wrong because of the current rules in place foster that environment. A lot of guilds on top with the current training rules would do the same thing. It is hard to keep a rotation in place when a lot of people in game can only see stats and pixels and desires them. They all claim it isn't the loot it is for "Fun" but if those mobs were dropping clothe armor with no stats no one would train and everyone would work together taking turns killing the mobs for fun.
I know it would cause more work for some GMs to review fraps etc.... But it is better than letting the inmates run the asylum so to speak. I mean you have played on this server Stealin...You know there is never going to be guilds who reasonably will work together for a long period of time with the current rules in place. That is why a Play-nice policy was in place on live...That is why GMs stepped in and made guilds work it out. In the end you just lose people and guilds brag about running people off the server as if that is an accomplishment.
