The problem isn't the petitions themselves. It is the results of petitions that are the problem.Dating back all the way to Kunark when a guild lost a mob they would instantly pull up fraps to try to find 1 thing they could petition instead of just working with the guild they were competing against.

They did this because the result of landing a petition was more rewarding to their guild and more detrimental to their competition than working with them to fix problems. When you gain more from petitioning your competition than you do by working with them then petitions become the norm. On top of that when you get a guild suspended for minor mistakes (in most cases) made by new players that causes hurt feelings and anger towards each side to get worse.

You can't say "Figure it out and work together like adults" when the system has rewarded guilds who petition each other for years now way better than ever taking the time to work together.

Good point. If you want more of something, subsidize or reward it. Getting a whole guild locked out of a zone for a week is way more valuable than 1 or 2 drops from killing the target once.

Hey there guides/GMs following my 3 step plan you will eliminate all the crybaby Leslies from sending in numerous raid related petitions
1) 1st dumb petition = 2 week ban on all IPs associated with senders account + same punishment for Guild Leader including guild bots these IPs have used.
2) 2nd offense from same guild = #1 + all raid leaders as well.
3) 3rd offense = 1+2 + all members
4) 3 weeks
5) 4weeks....

Your grace period resets January 1. Every year.

OP is scratching at sores like a true drug addict. How about you enjoy the ban and realise you were part of the problem. Oh, wait i forgot you are 100% innocent.
