I've seen this sentiment expressed a few times here- do you really think you can just crack open a minotaur hero brew and shoot the shit with people and they're going to give up their precious monopoly on a camp? Have you ever had one of these types of interactions? It really doesn't work that way most of the time.

But it does happen. I have had these interactions a good many times. No, they were not concerning rare spawns or dragon pixels. I have been on p99 now since 2012 and I haven't had much issue with getting camps eventually. I just don't get them all the time when I want them now.. you know like laying down with tears on my cheeks while pounding my fists and kicking my feet.
If its camped and I get no play, I move on my way to something else. Come back later.

Most of the time you'll be either completely ignored (afk?) or ridiculed and called a newb for not knowing the rulebook. At best, you'll politely be told that they're planning on camping it for another 8 hours or so and there are 4 other people on the list after them so come back on Tuesday if you want a chance at the camp.

Come back Tuesday, newb. /ingore .. j/k. But yeah check on it or come back on Tuesday.

If something is technically allowed in the rules, people will do it and quote the rulebook to you despite any level of logical discourse you try to have. EQ is/was a pretty hardcore-type of game, and P1999 is the boiled-down neckbeardy version of EQ so of course it's going to have a disproportionate level of people who would gladly spend DAYS camping something to farm plats to pay for a MQ to get 20 more Hps out of their wrist slot.

I have heard this complaint in various forms so many times in the past 17 years. Eventually when the player gets past their hump in life and reaches to point to seek BiS items some may chose to camp plat to achieve this and the circles comes around fully. Ask yourself if you are truly upset because a camp is taken or is it BiS or even upper end gear is just out of reach.
Honestly, what camp is that hard to get eventually?. King Camp for fungi, Jboots or high end Dragon pixels?
An instance MMO is far more up their ally, just like DVR tv they can watch it when they want how they want. No need to get heartbroken when they can have it now... NOW. Not later, NOW damnit. The game should cater to just the way they like their backs scratched. When and How.
*sigh*... achieve what you can achieve, everything good under the sun is not entitled and that includes the Norrath pixel sun as well.
