I don't think its an issue of not understanding Vendar. She and I, and quite a few others simply completely disagree with you. The game as originally designed and envisioned was about many kinds of play group, solo, guild. As it progressed, SOE began to cater more and more to the same kind of guild mentality that you are expressing here. We all know what happened eventually.
One aspect of play - the guild aspect - should not be able trump the others in every given situation just because a guild wants it to. I can understand some competition at the guild level for raid bosses, but I can't support the effort of guilds banding together to monopolize content that doesn't need a guild or a raid to kill. Droga is primarly group intended content, though skilled soloists of certain classes may also manage it.
EQ was designed to be a cooperative multiplayer game. In my opinion, this "locking down" goes contrary to that spirit. It's selfish and mean. Not "mean" like "cruel" - "mean" like "small and debased".
Oh and by the way, the fact that someone disagrees with your point of view does not mean they are "crying". I shoudn't have to explain that to a mature individual.

99.8% of Droga is completely and utterly uncamped. No one is depriving anyone of the ability to XP and rake in the random drops if they are in the zone.
Of course, if you are completely distraught because the one or two items you are seeking in the clear back of the zone is camped 24/7, then you must have not zoned into Lower Guk in the last 12 months...
The Idol of the Thorned will always be there, and the CoS isnt getting 'nerfed' for months. These items will eventually be 100% available to all, but even without guild interference, the camp will be 'camped' 24-7.
If you wanted to be proactive, just roam around the zone and kill goblins.. I'm sure there's someone in EC or Droga that would be willing to swap you their CoS for an Earring of Essence or Gauntlets of Potence, both of which drop randomly throughout the zone. Since ReasonableHumanBeings(tm) wrestled the original camp from TMO, stuff hit the open market at very reasonable prices. You could easily be getting XP in Karnors or Seb or Chardok or CoM or wherever and grind up enough cash and items to score a CoS in likely the same (or less) time than it would take you to camp the dang thing.
Or you could sit in RnF and see how much closer that gets you to your goal.
