I’ve camped AC many times. The fact of that matter is that there is a group of people that follow this player-created list system, and players who do not and follow traditional camp rules. What really needs to happen is for mods to create a specific rule set for this camp. Until that happens, there will continue to be widespread confusion and abuse.

I haven't camped the AC in a while, but there were a few natural factors that help keep the camp honest:
1. its a fast a spawn time. very fast actually. its easy to let a ph pop in the camp if you are screwing around, semi-afk, or trying to hand the camp off.
2. unless you are bound there it isn't easy to get to right away, given #1 above that means you have to be ready to go when someone tries to hand it off to you. a legit run to the camp could take 30 minutes from most of norrath...which is multiple PHs.
3. the named ALWAYS drops the ring...which means the person holding the camp is done and someone else is going to get it now. given #1 and #2 above this means the next person has to be ready to take the hand off. in camps where the named doesn't always drop the loot it is impossible to know if the guy just got the item he was camping...which means he could lie and continue to hold the camp while his friend is en route.
The camp is abused by MQ farmers...but I've never had any issue camping there and checking back every few hours waiting to get the camp. Usually it takes a while but its not overly corrupted. Other camps that don't have the above situation make it EXTREMELY easy for someone to abuse a list.
