For holding mobs maybe we have different experiences but it has only twice resulted n a gm showing up and one of those the gm deemed it fine and they were making it a reasonable effort swinging at a mob with relic swords (not excaliburthe actualrelic sword base weapon 1dmg 999 delay) that would not even break the mobs auto regen. And the other claimed the mob had a rage timer (it didn't at the time but it was added in a future update namely sandworm being held for 5hrs so the competing ls could keep it in their capable times)

GM power has steadily been removed over the last 8 years so it's really not their fault more the company policy in how a GM is able to act/respond but unless it's something such as yelling racist profanities in jueno (even then it took nearly an hour and the person was released from jail with a warning then re jailed after another hour of doing it again) they are by company policy unable to act.
GM power hasn't been removed, its more the situations where we used to use it don't arise nearly as much anymore (e.g. monster holding, linkshell wars).

Most 3rd party tool use reports probably get ignored because they're unprovable. SE doesn't use any mechanism in the client to scan for them (legal privacy issue supposedly, though VAC does it, various anti-cheat engines do it) and it's usually a he-said, she-said thing.
