I get what you mean but the camps are so "valuable" they'll always work around it.
Always. for sure, but has it ever been implemented and tested? Im sure a few weeks you'd find out how to stop loopholes

Rangers / Druids can forage. Mages can summon food, they can also CotH.
Makes them more valuable to a group. Right now Enc and shm are the strongest class during velious.. why would you ever invite other classes if they offer little value to the group? *cough* wizards *cough.

If you made it so quick that you couldn't stay out more than a few hours it''d inconvenience everyone. After playing EvE for 13 years one thing that's certain is if theres some "valuable" thing players will go to great lengths to overcome a nerf.
It isn't meant to punish players by inconveniencing if they plan accordingly. It's to prevent that "one" guy or "one"group monopolizing camps and punish bad players. Suppose they make a fresh server. We'll use Evil eye camp in Gukbottom for manastones as an example. They aren't lore, it can be solo'd by a necro/enc/sham at low levels. Nothing stops them from staying X amount of hours or even days .Relying on "lists" and "trusting" they'll leave once they get their stone is begging for a 20 page drama-thread.

In terms of rotations and lists the way they worked on live was you turn up to the camp, you get put on the list, if there are 6 people in front of you you're number 7. For any lore camp the person can't corpse without losing their spot so they either have to leave or they go to the end of the list.

Of course there are some people that might trade to an alt / friend or whatever so that's a way around that but then again a simple solution to that is a /say wide message that says X has looted a [insert item name here].
Still can have lists and PnP.. it doesn't stop you from doing so.. I was just trying to add in some depth and element into the game than implementing Instancing in an "open world" or creating a fresh new server.
