I'm confused Loramin- didn't you start this thread? The thread is about locking down mobs/drops for extended amounts of time (days/weeks) to prevent others from accessing content and hoarding vast amounts of rare gear. Of course that's not the case at the Soothsayer camp in 2017.
If you want to see how this might play out in current meta, wait until Chardok 2.0 drops and Regal Band/Spirit Wracked Cords are on the table. You'll not be able to negotiate, play at off-peak, group up and cooperate, etc. for Drusella and/or angry goblin spawns. It'll be locked down 24/7 for a year+. And no level of patience or cooperation will allow you access either, because people will just hand off the camp to a friend, who will then hand it back to their alt, who then /gu when they're about to leave and have a guildy come and hold the camp while they sleep, etc.
And yes, it's exactly what happened in classic EQ, which prompted the PNP.
