It's short, simple, and prevents lockouts without requiring extra GM oversight, while giving every player an equal and fair chance to acquire legacy items (multiplied by how willing they are to sit and wait at the camp ... ie. it rewards perseverance). Of course people could break the rules and not random, forcing a GM to show up ... but that's no different from people breaking any other rule on the server
And heck, with a tiny bit of custom coding the legacy drop NPCs could even check all the PCs within a certain distance around them at death, do the random automatically, and announce "Bob now has this camp". It wouldn't be classic, but neither is an all-volunteer CSR staff or FTE messages. Historically P99 has always been willing to go un-classic if necessary to make things work for the staff.

How on earth does that not require extra GM oversight? Have you met many of your fellow players? And what do you mean "individual"? Can a full xp group not camp the room? That's obscene, even though its entirely possible that the camps will be solo socked 24/7 anyway. Who's keeping the list, players? We see how that goes already with OOT AC and these camps would put the pixel frenzy for jboots MQ's to shame.
There's no simple rule that can police this sort of toxic behavior, and any attempt is more likely to end up being worse than simple neckbearding of the spawn. People socking lguk is bad (and inevitable even without guise/MS) but seeing a zone message that its your turn like waiting at the DMV for tags or license is even worse.
