Special rules should not have been created for one camp. It should have just been treated the same way every other camp is treated.

Every other camp should be treated the way this one is IMO, with the addition of AFK == not in line. Being able to monopolize camps between you and your friends/guild is ridiculous. Anyone attempting that on live would have been forced to share with everyone via PnP.

...lol "go to macy's then" tag...

I've got an idea, let's instance the LoIO sarnak tower so camps like this don't happen.

Instancing.... EWWW. :P

Beyond telling people that you can no longer pick to hand the camp off to a guild mate and making a suggestion that lines be formed based on first come first served the devs haven't done anything.

That means the whole 20min LD, being able to AFK until your 4hour window comes up, ect... is all purely based on player agreement.

Yeah, some people are just getting in line over and over to sell the prod for profit. People are greedy, it happens. If you have a problem, that is what RnF is about.

I tried on more than one occasion to get a NoS before it was moved just to find that 2 people were there claiming the camp for long periods of time while corpse holding 4-5 NoS'. Greedy, annoying, but perfectly legit as long as it wasn't somebody boxing.

But the rules right now are an agreement between the players, which people generally agree is better then involving the GMs; having them come up with and then have to enforce a rule.

What the fuck is the difference between sitting there staring at a monitor with your thumb up your ass and actually doing something away from the computer while you wait 20 hours? There's none except the former is stupid. You're waiting for your turn on a 4 hour spawn, why the hell should you have to stare at a wall in LOIO for it to be valid?

Because people keep going back to JCP just to camp it and sell it, which is whats making the line unbearably long. Should only be able to get in line one time for that item but that's never going to be able to be enforced so fuck it, make everyone in LOIO red.

The people selling it are the problem. Already got your HS key? Then GTFO of the line.

They don't want classic either, have fun with PnP :cool:

The other option is to make him a 6-minute spawn with 2.5% chance to drop the prod, so it's still one every 4 hours but you have to actually do something to get the thing.
