Why are you talking about rolling? It doesn't work like that. People sharing camps means that people take turns killing a mob. Whoever's turn it is to kill the mob is the person who gets to loot it.

You also make no sense saying "on Live there was only player A and B, but on p99 there is player C too." I mean, many camps are more known on p99, but it wouldn't work any different, and there is nothing about p99 that inherently creates added confusion as a result of "player C" showing up, as compared to that same situation in classic.

If player "C" shows up at a camp where A + B are present, then they can clearly see that they would be 3rd on the rotation list. If player A leaves, then player B is still clearly ahead of them on the list. This is not difficult to understand.

Like I said before, our server is inherently different in some inescapable ways from live.

Stop trying to push this stupid fallacy. GM's already have to settle disputes on p99. The classic Play Nice Policy does NOT require more work by GM's.

If someone on current p99 is at a camp, and someone else shows up and tries to take the camp from them, then that person has to petition a GM. It isn't any easier for the GM with the current p99 ruleset. The dispute exists regardless.

The significant difference is in how players are expected to conduct themselves, and how the classic PnP creates more player interaction and more opportunity for non-neckbeards. The current policy on p99 rewards the most toxic gameplay of all, with specific no-life players being able to continuously block content from everyone else. "Waiting lists" on current p99 don't actually mean anything, because whoever is at a camp can hand it off to whoever they want. 2 people who play in separate 12-hour shifts can 100% lock down a spawn by handing it off to each other, while everyone else who tries to wait, thinking they might get a chance, actually has no chance and is only unknowingly wasting their time. That's total bullshit.
