You sure about that? I rarely see epic-less clerics camping rf in the lair. When I do (assuming they haven't arrived after I've been camping it for a long time), though, I leave it to them (unless some other farmer is standing there spamming pearl turnin and take it away from them).

Ideally these epic-less clerics would also be able to get their own friends to come help them kill the dragon, so they can actually feel like they're doing their own epic quest. Until we all get to that point, they still have the option of asking some expert farmers to help them kill it for a share of the loot. This is a very viable option and happens all the time.

I got my epic as an unguilded 60 cleric. I actually had to camp it TWICE because naggy spawned on top of the first one. both times, I was able to convince some farmers (including some ateam folks) not to compete with me since i was an epicless cleric and I was able to get elite players to help me kill for a share of the loot.

The fact that you didn't get this rf isn't evidence of an epidemic (iirc you aren't an epicless cleric).

tl;dr: if you need an epic, get in the lair and poopsock it (this is eq). sometimes jerks will try to snipe it from you, but at the very least there should be capable folks there ready to help you kill the dragon for a share of the loot.
