While you can currently hold a camp 'hostage' at #1 in a couple of ways, I still see the danger in adjustments that favor the opposing situation. A guild with sufficient online members could rotate people in-and-out and hold a camp permanently, if they have ways of booting people who they say "can't hold it alone" (read: aren't guild members / friends).

Currently, at least if you can solo the camp, you can hold a spot on the list (assuming no training / foul play).

At some level, my hope for the /list system was that it would force groups to form with pick-up members. e.g. that for these camps, at all times, all the people on the /list there are grouped, and helping each other, and as people get the item, they leave the group, so the next /list'ed can join.

Instead, like the typical min/max loot-fiend EQrs we are, we've found ways of exploiting the mechanics of the /list system, to either hold it hostage from a legitimate group that deserves to be there, or to force someone off the camp because your friends have greater numbers than theirs.
