It was already a pretty high level camp and most people didn't know to farm there, those that did didn't share their secrets.

No one knew it'd be broken years later on an emulator and took evidence. No one had that kind of hindsight.

People mostly ran through to get to seb.

It's not a great zone for regular hunting. I doubt there's much in the way of anything. Even standing around in the middle of the zone to take shots would be very dangerous in the real under-geared classic days with no jboots.

I don't know at what point anecdotes become data, my brother and I farmed this on live many expansions post pop. Never saw the mobs fight and it was teeming with vines and tigers and chickens.

Just logically why would you have a huge spawn table just for everything to get wiped out, it's not like the courier where it's a balance issue and it's supposed to be hard to get. What is the point of having a variety of animals and having them insta killed. It doesn't make any sense to make a cockatrice that drops nothing a rare spawn...
