"You can only camp what you can see from 1 spot" is the dumbfuckest rule I've ever heard of in my entire life. I can't think of a single camp in EQ with enough mobs to satisfy a full group that you can get LoS on from a single spot. .

This describes classic EQ pretty accurately. Ever done Lower Guk or Nagafen's Lair or Sebilis when you have 100+ people in-zone trying to make experience? Oftentimes groups did just what you describe--fight the few that spawned in their local area then wait for respawns because everything else was already dead. The modern P1999 mindset where experience groups expect to have an interrupted supply of monsters to chain-pull all night long doesn't necessarily reflect how people played EQ back in 1999/2000.

Canyon area in Mistmoore and Left Courtyard in Karnor's both suffer the problem of being typical camp areas that happen to be square in the path of traffic through their respective zones. Groups in such areas ought to accept a certain degree of elevated risk and nuisance.
