I bet the toxicity is not as bad as we think. P99 has been maturing well, scout roll, TOV changes. My prediction is it will be toxic initially but the insanity will subside after a while.

The rolls only happened because the alternative (a clickfest) is objectively worse to everyone (except cheaters and people with insanely good connections).
The ToV changes only happened because GM Braknar threw himself on his sword, and in the larger perspective they only happened because the players were creating so much misery with their neckbearding in ToV that the staff
had to make changes ... not for the player base, but for the staff (read Braknar's logs if you have any delusion that the changes were made for the player base).
So no I don't see either of those as in any way indicating that individual camps for prized items will have
any sanity whatsoever. If anything ToV suggests the
opposite.
P.S. IMHO the only way to bring sanity to these camps on Green (and sanity in general to contested camps) is to change to the rules. We can blame the players all we want, but humans in systems will always act certain ways.
The current rules all but
make players act the way they do. But you can't change how human beings work: players will always want pixels, and they will always do whatever they can to get them in the system the GMs create. You can only change the system, and then rely on that to change behavior.
