Heh, well Seafuries are certainly quite a contrast compared to back in the day [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

But what I think this tempest in a teacup boils down to is that most camp disputes are on clear named spawn points, so those rules have become well known. When you apply the general rules for them to an area where everyone else is just FTE-ing, and have one person camp a point, it becomes messy (a perfect example of the larger point that it's impossible to make rules cover everything without creating a "bible").

What I read your quote as was basically "people trying to claim a spawn point, while also running around grabbing more FTE, in an area where everyone else is FTEing is ... a mess, so if you're going to do that, it has to be clear that you're doing one point, and that means only doing one point" ... but I think it's being taken as some new restriction on any outdoor camp.

I will admit that particular wrinkle about sticking to the mob you're camping was news to me too ... but that's not to say I'm disagreeing with you at all, it's just I've never tried camping an HG point, or heard of anyone doing so and getting into a dispute. But just because we players haven't heard of a case, it doesn't mean you GMs haven't, and that you're making a ruling out of nowhere.
