Enforce hacking/exploiting. Otherwise, leave it to the players.

Simple and effective. All the GM focus can be on doing stuff for players.

This should be the rules on Red99

As a person who played low-level on Tallon Zek from 2000 to the day after Stormhammer launched, I will say Loot and Scoot was offerered and accepted at low levels. It wasn't until about level 40 or so that I noticed people stopped being cool, and started to be unreasonable.

It's bad form to bind-rush, whether versus NPC's or PC's.

Without GM enforcement, this will never work. The population of the internet in 2011 is not what it was in 2000.

In my experience lots of people allow LNS if you just act sporting and be civil to them. If someone doesn't allow LNS, you can always try asking someone in one of the nicer guilds to drag the corpse for you or drive away the people camping your corpse.

That's the biggest one. A lot of people act like idiots after they die, and nobody wants to do you any favors if you talk shit or have a history of attacking again right after looting your corpse.

Also, a lot of players look naked at this stage in the game even when they aren't on a CR. If you're CRing and it takes you right past a guild group, you might wanna let them know or you'll just look like someone snooping around. We've had that happen a lot and plenty of morons try to snipe a kill so they can jerk off to screenshots of their killshot on someone in a known guild (who was tanking 3 mobs at the time), so we kill people who approach while we're PvEing if we don't know them or they haven't let us know what they're doing.

People think they can just do whatever the hell they want and then complain when they get shit on. Just play smart. Surprisingly few players will repeatedly kill a total stranger who hasn't invited it in any way.
