You can't write rules that will force folks to be nice to each other...the best you can hope for is that they act according to the rules and they don't find too many ways to screw each other over.
It's a part of EQ...and it makes EQ a fun game. Occasionally you will get screwed by some jack ass (or even screw someone yourself). You'll also meet people and find out who is genuinely good, shitty, dumb, shady, etc. The mechanics of EQ allow folks to actually get to know each other (for good and for bad)...which is kinda the point of an immersive MMORPG.
In fact, EQ does it much much better than any other game I've really played. You can't throw the bathwater out without chucking the baby. EQ4Life.
