I don't see how "participating in actual gameplay" (as you call it) should result in a higher risk of having account history. Any player who lets something like sparring or towering affect their own account history or their behavior is at fault.

When you tower or spar you're at a much higher risk of being reported in the first place... The tower community is well known for reporting people who they even have an inkling are speed hacking, or lag blocking(an example would be thallen's situation earlier where he was just blinking). I can't be 100% sure, but it's likely that i will have more reports filed against me than someone who mostly AFK's in Graal city or BA. Behavior has little to do with it. If you are a jerk you'll have a longer account history regardless.
When you are doing something where people are emotionally invested in their reputation(and abilities) they're more likely to get upset(and file a rage report. for example; look what people did to Sarah last year).
Whether or not the times you've been reported factors into account history; I thought I recalled it being so, but I could be wrong. But if it does the mechanism for combat players having longer histories is there and makes logical sense.
I'm not trying to discredit or act like any GP's wouldn't be GP's if they had towered or sparred. Dread has said very clearly it goes far beyond your report and account history.
