As a formerly very shitty powergamer, what ultimately opened my eyes to it being a problem and made me change was seeing some of the reactions on my HoS app as well as the general dislike and disapproval from the community of my behaviours then.
Community feedback and reputation are definitely a way of getting powergamers to realize that what they're doing is an issue, and further so is an admin speaking to them about it. Sadly this won't work for all of them.
The ultimately worse option to stopping powergaming is to out powergame, which most likely will either make the person realize that powergaming will result in equally unfun opposition and make them chill a little or make them leave. Of course even then some may never stop.
