LOL. Like Sony would have stopped it. There's nothing to 'get away with' related to it.

Actually, they did. On some servers there was forced rotation. On others, nothing was said about training and FFA. On still others, the player guilds came up with calendars.
Not only that, entire guilds moved to different servers in order to be able to do content, if the other solutions didn't work for them. We don't have that luxury.
Get away with it was in reference to the playerbase allowing it. Problem is, we kind of boxed ourselves in with the ruleset, simply by thinking camping for days on end was too far-fetched to even consider. We being the original guilds that came up with what we thought was going to be a fair resolution to the same essential problem.
Point is, there was not
one server that had guilds permacamping the boss spawns, that was not addressed in one fashion or the other.
When you see the posts coming from people that think they won't get their piece of the end-game action, and basing their decision on whether or not to even play here, it's worrisome.
This is what I meant about rocking the boat, because asking for increased spawns when it only rewards 2 or maybe 3 guilds is ludicrous. Especially when there's 6 or more guilds able to do the content, but not willing to afk a toon until they get a call that a boss has spawned.
And if you say that every toon camping those boss mobs for days has an awake and at-the-keyboard person attending it...I don't have any qualms about saying it isn't true. I won't argue this point either, because we all know it's being done.
The best days here were when we watched IB and Tranny mobilizing for mobs. Div was starting to get shots too, and when the current ruleset was formulated, it was formulated as an inter-guild effort; its entire intent and purpose was to ensure fairness not only for the guilds involved, but for future guilds as they became able to raid and participate.
What's here now is ridiculous.
