Exp penalty in pvp needs to be higher. GM's need to stay out of player business (trade, raid, loot rights, etc).

Biggest problem is not allowing people to fail due to their own mistakes. If you can think of an easy to way have prevented that mistake, then there is no need for intervention.

For example...

Can't cast on boat? Move off boat.
Need to AFK for an hour? Log off.

I'm surprised this even needs to be said, let alone there being a debate over GM interference in these issues. Remember that by constantly interfering, it creates a climate of "NONE OF MY DECISIONS ARE MY FAULT!" amongst the playerbase and actually leads to far more /petitions for rubbish than had you just said "you are on your own, take responsibility for your own problems".

Bingo

Less hand holding, more hand burning when touching hot stove.
