First Scenario
Been in a camp for a hour or two, I'm a wimpy ass caster that visits a vendor in a zone to convert coin and sell as often as old people visit the bathroom. Between respawns I gate to vendor, up run back because I'm a peasant without Jboots (this is a lie, but making hypothetical lowbie sympathetic to the max) and a mob that has been up for less than 10 seconds is now being engaged. This camp has say, 3-4 spawns all within sight of each other. The player that is doing the killing has been sitting AFK nearby and killing a single spawn or occasionally popping up from his afk to hate stare at me and run around my camp then go back to being afk.
The Question: Is it his camp now? Can I prevent this scenario by sending this guy a tell and logging / screenshotting his vulture status? Is vendoring / temporary absences allowed within reason (back before even a single respawn, an announcement you are making a vendor run if the person is in zone) or are bathroom breaks and vendor runs game over?
Second Scenario
I do a camp check and a necro or shaman claims to be doing a 6-8 spawn camp solo. I run through and check on the camp and the guy is doing half of the spawns available within the camp and leaving one room up consistently. Basically he's capable of doing one full room and an extra spawn if he doesn't get any resists. I now ask him if he's killing all the mobs and just taking a med break, he says he is. I decide I'd like to see that so I sit down next to his ass and he needs my help not to die because he was full of crap and only capable of doing the one room.
The Question: Can I petition this sonuvbitch for monopolizing and lying about the camp? To me this is even worse than the wait list problem, lying about a camp or the situation in it (players sneaking / invis / hidden near by claiming the camp when no group is there) and has to be done with the intent of misleading others. It's one thing if you are taking a med break or piss break after 3 hours of continuous killing. That or maybe a bad set of resists and mobs are still up, it's another to never have the camp in the first place and lie to keep a minor advantage / claim a larger camp than you are actually capable of doing right then.
