There is an alternative to the Mausoleum for wilderness characters.

I'd love to eradicate a trouble-making paladin of Hoar on behalf of the duergar slavers he's been raiding. His perfectly benevolent disciples and freedom fighters...

To put it really simply, there has been an influx of new players on the server in the last nine months or so that simply don't seem to "get" EfU.  

I wouldn't say that. From what I've perceived, it's peculiarly influential players with the MMO mindset that are passing down their way of doing things to the new and old accounts who interact with them. This starts to spread virally. The most powerful, visible, and effective questing machines are those who propagate the behavior Ladocicea described. It is extremely rewarding to fall in with them. They are more available and accessible than the traditional characters of EFU.

The easiest way to resolve this is the most direct one. Step civilly out of the hands-off enforcement role of the dungeon master. Pull players aside, explaining what they are doing in stark conflict with the principles of EFU. Once they're warned, OOC measures like deducting experience can be instituted if they continue the inappropriate behavior.

Approached courteously and made to understand, they can only be expected to stop. The indirect corrections historically used by this server may not be the best choice in this case.
