Do people really think FTE is going to fix this problem? All it enables is a different form of frustration if it remains a fixed timer. Instead of one guy who, once he has the camp, is able to engage, it will be 4 different people, probably ungrouped, doing it.
If you're gonna make it FTE, make it random in a window like RF, where the expected average spawn time is 8 hours. Then people who want to camp it and FTE actually have to work for it.
Not everything needs to be more rules and GM involvement, but on this one, it seems the rules themselves (physical presence determining the camp) is the problem. The same thing can be said about the Fishbone Earring camp, but at least on that one, the randomness makes it more likely that the AFK camper will not be present, allowing others to take it.
