There's only three reasons I can come up with that could motivate these people to sit /anon in a zone like Droga:

1.) They derive a twisted pleasure from seeing some poor bastard travel an appreciable distance to a zone he thinks is empty, only to find every camp already taken.

2.) They think that they can mitigate future competition for these camps by staying /anon and having #1 occur at a frequency sufficient to deter someone from deciding to travel to the zone.

(This is somewhat reminiscent of the tactic of purposefully killing the tainted seafury cyclops in OOT to spawn the corrupted, hoping this drives people off the island. Yes, people actually do this.)

3.) They are /anon for the standard reason of being a class that gets bugged frequently, for example a druid (ports) or a cleric (rezzes). However, I can say that having spent hundreds upon hundreds of hours in Droga, all of them not /anon, not once was I ever bugged for a port. So I never felt like I needed to be /anon to avoid people.
