So you're saying if you can't commit twelve hours a day without interruption to playing EQ, no meal breaks, no getting some fresh air, not even being able to use the restroom like a proper bloke, you'll never have access to the items or content you want? That's not how a game should be. A game should be an escape from the stresses of real life. One should not have to feel shackled to it to be able to enjoy it or progress in it.
I've camped pretty much every significant camp in EQ. You're being hyperbolic about how hard it is. Yes, you need time...but you can eat, watch tv, read, play other games (including EQ on other servers). You set timers and monitor the room for other players/trains, but it isn't nearly as poop socky as you describe it.

Ironically, the worst camp I've ever done in EQ was the guise on p99 green. Yah, I'm guarenteed the item...but the afk checks for literally 48 hours is insane and horribly unhealthy for the people (like me) that did it straight up without someone else logging in my toon. By far the worst experience of my EQ life...by day 2 I was literally getting sick and starting to take cat naps in five minute clips. This is not what most camps are like in EQ without /list.

As for access to the items? Yah, you farm the pp like I said and buy your fbss. For content? You're really over-stating how "fun" these camps are. You aren't missing anything after you've done them for an hour.
