This is not classic at all

Classic EverQuest had a team of paid professional GMs, a backing team of developers, and an all-volunteer team of guides (who still got "paid", at least a little, with free EQ). P99 just has a 100% all volunteer staff, and they can't even be "paid" with free EQ because everyone gets that already.

Simple logic tells you that a bunch of people doing support as a job are going to be able to enforce rules that a much smaller group of non-professionals can't, and so as much as this place tries to be as classic as possible, until we all donate enough to pay real monthly salaries for everyone on staff, it's just not realistic to expect live-level rules and support.

Shouldn't there be a warning system in place?

Normally there is, as several people here have expressed. But as we've also expressed, this is far from the first "the staff done me wrong!" post we've seen, and in 95+% of these posts the OP leaves out some relevant details ... which is why we're waiting for all of the facts to come out before we jump to conclusions about staff misconduct or whatnot.

If their best solution is to do nothing but reduce server pop because of an orc, then perhaps they should be doing nothing at all in these cases

That's easy to say now, but when someone higher level steals a rare mob that you've spent hours patiently killing the placeholders for, I suspect you'll change your tune.
