A GM typing one sentence would resolve it, and most of the people want to be civil.

This. I'll even write the sentence.

When Shady and Angry Goblins spawn, players will have 1 minute to /rand 1000 and when the minute is up the winner will turn in their quest pieces. Anyone found to not be cooperating with this rule will be dealt with.

Two sentences. Norrath is a better place.

Thats not classic and like every other "rule" on this server, creates a rabbit hole argument.

Player made is player made. if someone fucks up, then its their reputation thats damaged. if thats not enough to deter the behavior, then the community is the problem

Except it just comes to the forums as a bunch of lies and arguing anyways. Just mandate a roll officially and avoid all that. It's silly to avoid implementing a rule that already has a precedent and reduces toxicity just because of some hypothetical stuff. It's the better solution, proposed by people who don't want to cheat and argue.

What even is a damaged reputation on P99? Isn't success here directly proportional to how terrible of a person you are?

This isn't wrong, but what is the community going to do? Toxic_Player can run around and do this stuff all day with no repercussions. Community can't make it a roll because of Toxic_Player, community can get physically trolled by Toxic_Player, and they still get to show up and do it the next day. Rules, unfortunately, are needed in 2019-era EQ because everyone sucks.
