Well a few things.
1. If there's a random, anyone with amiable faction can show up and random. You're talking about 100~ people potentially. That makes this quest suck a lot. People will also come back day after day. You can show up 100 days and continue losing the random. Whether you view that as an issue or not is up to you.
2. There is almost no poopsocking involved, that's why this is a fantastic quest. You show up 2-3 minutes before the spawn. If you lose, you can come back again next spawn. You aren't forced to sit there for 8 hours straight to try and get the mob. It's a known spawn and no one wastes their time sitting there 24/7. This is one of the best qualities of the quest, it's a quick in and out no staring at a wall for hours. 2-3 minutes and you're done.
3. Staff won't enforce this as it's more work for them. Which comes down to player enforcement. Which has worked thus far on Coldain Ring but again that has a higher barrier to entry. You need to do 7 quests first. Anyone with amiable faction can do this and the consequence of failure is nothing. Leading to a lot more people as mentioned in #1 and therefore more chance for a dumb person to turn in even when they lost the roll.
@Juvento, I'm sure Taken can get behind a no standing on spawn agreement. The problem is if anyone breaks this then everyone has to break it to have a shot. So it needs to be followed 100% by all attendees. If that can be done, glorious.

1) I guess I just don't draw a distinction between losing a random and losing the click-fest. Neither is very skill based. They both suck, but one of them is less vulnerable to hacking.
2) Totally with you here. This camp seems like its pretty easy to not sock. I was thinking more like Lodi/Rage/Raids.
3) I guess if this was the only problem, that staff didn't enforce player made solutions because doing so would require too much staff involvement, then I would, if it would help, put in an app to handle community contracts. For example, if the community decided that this spawn would be handled by /randing 1000 in the 5-10 minutes before scout pops, i would volunteer to address those issues.
