Rules rules rules

[Velerin]

I've been on this server a few months now and loving it. I probably will never hit the raiding game (as fun as it sounds from these forums). One thing I think is so funny is how much the community seems to want rules for everything. What about just the "be cool" rule? No matter how many rules there are, someone will find loopholes and now you got an ass that not only is an ass but now has "rules" behind him.
"The rules say you must be 3 feet from mob spawn to claim camp! You are 4 feet! I take spawn!"
Maybe we just need to agree on some good ole fashioned unwritten "be cool" rules? I remember one of my favorite was from way back in the day on VZ. ( I played most all of my time on Vallon) The loot and scoot rule. Good solid unwritten, un gm enforceable be cool rule. You died, get your body, leave the zone and maybe we'll fight again later sometime (until the guy does something that revokes his LnS priviledge). One reason I don't try Red is because I know they'll just be some guy corpse camping the hell out of you even though you're gonna leave the zone and then tell you "the rules say I can kill you on CR so it's ok!"

Just a random thought while at work and procrastinating being productive.
