That was a long time ago. Memories vary wildly... I distinctly remember camps, of course. I also remember always having a HT up to outburst the occasional intrepid person showing up to nail a named as it would pop.
But a constant "competition" for mobs via doing more damage was more of an outlier, at least on Veeshan (the greatest server). Both camps and DPS-racing bring out the worst in people, but that is just the way this game works until they made most named mobs trivial due to easy to achieve upgrades in low/mid-tier raiding (especially with PoP and level cap increase to 65).
