I think I only camped three, and for all I confess I cheated to learn their whereabouts. How I got cheating and exploiting from that is because I played Project '99 now and then from the early days and watched players again and again looking at spoiler sites, maps, auction prices, statistics of creatures, quest spoilers, item information, etc. Because there is a long history of spoiler sites for Everquest as far back as '99. Because people who play online games are in general some of the worst cheaters on the face of the earth. And because from the way you put it, I thought you were also someone that looked at spoiler sites. If you are instead a master of the game then forgive me. But the principles of a good virtual world do not change no matter how many cheat or not. There is no solution to cheating in large online games. That is an individual choice a player makes. And it has been a part of them since at least Diablo in '96.
Looking at sites that give mob statistics, locations, quest info, maps etc is NOT cheating...

It may be in your eyes, but the information is there and available and against no rules.
