You guys are completely missing the implications of what you're trying to advocate.
You want some system where people who just show up at a camp must be put in line for it, but what about the idea of group balance? Or does this only apply to easy camps? Who determines what's an easy camp? Do you expect the GMs to sit down and write up some list of what camps being camped by what levels would require people to be allowed in the group just because they showed up? Or do you want to put more strain on GMs and have them constantly having to go to these hot spots and arbitrarily decide if the group is holding easily and if they should force them to let some other guy in?
The bottom line is, if a group is camping an area, at what point does it become "fair" for you to be forced into their group? At what point does it become "fair" to push the group out of their camp? Oh, right, it never becomes fair to do either of those things. Not at the CoS camp, not at the tstaff camp.

Actually, I am advocating something a bit different from what the OP outlined. I am in favor of requiring a person or persons to be present in order to have the "right" to take the camp - any camp, not just some special camp. This is already what is happening in places like SRo, for the AC camp. If nobody is physically waiting then sure, a camp holder can tell guildies, friends or others that the camp is about to be freed up and they should come and get it.
I'm not talking about making a list or a line. I expect the GMs to do nothing in this reguard. It's ludicrous to think that they should make lists. If multiple persons or groups really want to physically sit there for multiple groups ahead of them to take their turn, then more power to them. I suspect that this won't happen much though.
I am also not talking about the "share" policy that existed on live. I don't think you should have to let anyone join the group that asks to.
The current policy puts the power for saying who goes next into the hands of the current camp holder. This does not guarantee that there will never be disputes that a GM might have to hear. The change I am advocating is very little or no additional burden on the GMs nor is it changing anything about the way a current campholder will play they game.
