It may be harder to do but it would be nice if 60s farming greens during GM events got zero loot/faction. Theres a lot of unemployed people cock blocking the entire event in some of the best leveling zones on their 60s farming greens. I'm not really sure how you combat this since most of the server is unemployed or work from home. And requires constant validation through monopolizing content because they never had their emotional needs met as a child.

The staff has the capability to do this, as The Warrens and Stonebrunt Mountain already have the "trivial loot code" written.
Most likely they didn't use it for the same reason Verant abandoned the TLC: high level players are players too, and penalizing them for daring to level doesn't really fit EQ. You see that guy whose X levels higher than you as an enemy stealing "your" content, but he just sees himself as someone who wants to play the game and experience the new custom Haloween event.
I think a more holistic solution would be to make items drop off a wide variety of mobs ... and seeing as how I picked up some quest bits in both South Karana and Karnor's Castle, it seems to me like the devs did exactly that (although I never tried to complete the quests, so maybe I missed a true bottleneck elsewhere?).
