P99 has a wiki? I should start editing it.

Yes p99 has a wikipedia.

There are several "camps" (at least) that operate in a similar fashion. This would open up a whole can of worms that would take PetitionQuest to an unprecedented level.

Get some friends, get some cloaks. Its a very simple camp with enough people.

False - I've camped quillmane for over 40 cloaks. It is known. As mentioned the exact walk through is on the wiki.

Also, the PH is @ 1 /loc, while quillmane can spawn in three DIFFERENT locations.

ALSO, ALLLLL of the named in zone share this same PH... which is why its absolutely ridiculous to call this a camp. This will never... EVER happen.

Known by some people vs widely/universally known. Quillmane is the former, pretty obviously.

I apologize. I actually had a devious plan to explain why its FTE but it backfired horrendously. Anyway it involves the rules on camping a spawn not shared in the same coordinates. Its too difficult for a CSR to make strict rules. Otherwise there would be petitions on people who innocently kill the horse.

The Quillmane process is well-known and documented sufficiently on the wiki as well as in Zanderr’s Quide from 2013.

Perhaps you’re thinking of the South Ro Ancient Cyclops, which has a 10% chance to spawn at 9pm game time whether placeholders are killed or not.

I don't see how mistakes is a real problem. Taking away the GM sanctioned sniping of someone camping something intentionally is the goal here....

Of course people passing might see it and kill it, and those camping it would have to keep letting others in the zone know. It is about intent.... if someone takes a quill spawn accidentally, no big deal....just spawn another.

But having people go "lolz, you camping it? GMs said you can't, so, gonna go sit in one of the spots lol". Now we are talking different scale.

The current GM ruling is just a license for jerkbaggery (as I ran into the other day).

The goal should be to have rules that keep others from tromping on the stuff other players are trying to do. Having a license to snipe a spawn being triggered by someone ACTIVELY camping PHers every 30 seconds is ridiculous. The worse kind of lawyerquesting that goes against the play nice policy.

Again, you’ve got a valid criticism of the rules, but think of it from the GMs’ point of view. Enforcement would be nigh-impossible. It’s fine for you to criticize the rules, but don’t wait for this rule to change.

If your goal is truly to get a cloak (and not to make a fuss), then you need 3 other people who also want cloaks and/or who are willing to help you.

Luckily, a noble Gnome like yourself seldom finds it hard to find willing allies.
