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.

This is actually a very good point and is not classic. I have yet to hear a good solution, but how about something very simple that at least avoids total monopoly: a shared list for the most contested camps that everyone can see. A simple google doc would even suffice, as long as permissions get worked out, etc. There is still the issue of a group of friends locking the camp down for long periods of time, but technically this is unavoidable even with just 1 character if several people take turns playing them. Maybe a time limit on how long a single player can take certain camps?
Ultimately, there are going to be neckbeards under any ruleset and they will be getting contested camps the majority of the time, as they should. We should, however, at least give less hardcore players a chance to participate.
