First of all only criminals are killed on plymouth. Every player has the opportunity to become a member of the society by following these rules:
MM Tribe Treaty
The Great Spirit knows that a wipe would accomplish nothing. The Tribe would re-take the server within a month and the remainder of the "Veteran" players would simply quit due to all the time they lost in their characters from a wipe. If you want to change the status quo then get some friends, grow some balls, and come @ us bro!
If not. Well.... Keep making these threads and see where that gets you. It is not the Tribe's fault that the majority of players were here to commit crimes and be criminals. The result of the low population is the lack of content updates. Once people ran out of content they started committing crimes. Once they committed crimes we summon killed them all. End of Story.
P.S. It is no longer Plymouth. The Tribe now owns all three servers. We are just choosing how to interact with the two lesser-servers a bit more carefully as they are the remainder of our play things.

MM Tribe
Tribe could be neutered in short order by doing the following:
1. Wipe the map
2. Wipe all accounts
3. Limit alts is 3/per account
4. Force users to change their passwords every 90 days or void their claims entire.
Fact is that Tribe maintains alts in a grid pattern over their entire map... we're 'probably' talking 1000's of alts. The admin alone if they had to maintain individual accounts would bury them. As it is... piece of cake... it's part of their system of victory.
I've explored <10% of Plymouth... and next to each and every destroyed stead is at least one claimed lean-too... it's just outside of 'visual range'. That is to say you can't log in and see someone port in, but it's there. The issue is...that is Still claimed even after the destroyed stead half gone back to nature. I could understand prepping for a take over... but even after it's been taken?!
Considering that I've found over 100 steads destroyed in my explorations thus far... and I'm an area steads appear to be few... take whatever +/- you want... but the number beggers imagination for any one account.
Fact is- Tribe is taking advantage of the system the say way gold-sellers and hackers do... and to be honest- I have started to do the same.
(Why should I store anything valuable where it can be stolen when Jorb's made it perfectly legit to create all the alts I need so I have unlimited storage in the 'cloud'?!)
If you want to level the playing field- Jorb needs to ask other F2P Developers how they manage bulk bogus accounts.... perhaps consider IP bans on zones and areas where they seem to occur the most often.
Frankly, successful folks who benefit from their honest effort... will rise again, even in the face of adversity. However, if Tribe is just riding the 'legacy' wave; and can't rise up again after a wipe... then they have nothing to brag about other than being 'first in line'... woohoo!
