Not much incentive to stay here... I like raiding and if this is how shit is handled, whats the point?

I love the classic feel of this server, fucking ass holes and duche bags are doing there best to ruin it for us all. Thanks.
As right as you are, it's not even the douche bags most of the time unless they exploit or dupe. It's the GM intervention that makes it saddening. Raid rules? Seriously? What about when 2 guilds wanted a mob? They both fought it and whoever got loot, got loot. If people train mobs on each other for it, then so be it; see you next week. Let the players get shitty at each other, not cry to GMs. GM intervention once started, is a slippery slope. It forces them to interact, talk, and get attached/favor certain players/guilds and later causes spoiling. I vote for no God Hands.

GMs should get involved when griefing comes into play. Intentional training, KSing, etc. This isn't sullon zek. But, since there was absolutely no griefing going on, you are right. GM intervention in that case was just absurd and made 0 sense.

Take 2 runners, the gun goes off and both race around the track and one runner wins. The loser then tells the judge "hey, that's not fair he won, I wanted to win." So the judge tells the winning team "you guys have to decide who gets to win. Either you both win, you flip a coin, or no one wins and you race again next week."

How much sense does that make?

About as much sense as the guy who starts the race being in the guild (Oops I mean on the team, we're using an analogy!) of one of the runners and not telling the other runners they're racing.

Ways to know that you are competing with someone else:

(1)They tell you
(2)You are raiding in classic EQ
