All we could do was escalate the ticket to a GM and hope that they did something about it, but in most situations like this, the GM would actually scold me for wasting their time and tell me to only send them tickets that involved bugs or glitches.

Firstly, CSR can mean Guide you know that right? In any case, to address this other point, that's not 100% correct. The game launched without any specific rules or policies because no one had any clue what was needed given the groundbreaking nature of the game. So what you had happening was each server basically had its own rules depending on who was the head GM for that server. Each GM had their own opinions on what was punishable conduct and on some servers training was absolutely punished; on others it wasn't punished at all, even if done intentionally. Brad and others eventually realized the need for consistent policies/rules so that players could know what to expect on every server in the game. So the first of those rules were implemented later in 1999 and people were definitely banned for violating them. There were things you could do to be banned outright (not many, but a couple) and then for the rest it was multiple warnings = account suspension, multiple issues post-suspension = account ban.

just find it bizarre how when I play on TLP, intentional KSing, camp sniping, training, raging etc. are all fairly allowed.

They are "allowed" on TLP because the company that owns it barely has any money and is just trying to squeeze every cent out of EQ that it can. They don't want to spend money on things like extensive CSR staff to enforce rules like that.

Yeah guessing you're totally not one of the negative people from the old DMO guild on Green. Sure.
