I guess this is an issue primarily for the higher levels. I'm relatively low, and while some camps have been full, I'm still able to find mobs to kill.
Also, wasn't it like this back in the day as well? I can remember going into a zone, asking for a camp check and everything was always camped. Just got my name on a list and killed random stuff while waiting.

By the time I joined original era in early 2000 most, if not all, the camps were settled. Yes, it was like this back in the day. I recall an 8 hour wait to get into the Frenzy camp on a day off work.
The thing is I didn't expect to get anything. I tried, mostly failed. Was disappointed but didn't log on to the EQ forums to bitch at the developers. That was the game. Everyone wants the really nice items.
Part of it also was there wasn't a whole lot of information put down in a single place for new players like me. I relied on word of mouth, my friends who also heard about something or being in a group and being shown something. Sure, there were some guides for things but you had to go searching for them with no direction of where..
That was something entirely unique to EQ in my experience, having to find things scattered around the web. The game designers didn't do that, it wasn't approved by committee with an in game quest log with glowing arrow to save me from frustration and tossing the console controller through the living room TV in a fit of juvenile rage.
Coming from PS1 games to this was something of a shock for me. Typically everything is laid out for you and everything about the game is inside the game.
