I agree, it's best to just walk away from the troublesome players -- unfortunately the friend group I was playing with decided to walk away from P99 altogether because of unscrupulous players.
During the Christmas Event, many people came through Sol A and continuously cleared our camps that we had been holding down for sometimes hours before they showed up. Each time it happened, we decided to log off and try again another day.
We went through this ordeal maybe 5-6 days in a row before 3 of the 4 of our group decided that P99 wasn't for them.
I think the ones who can stick around are the ones addicted enough to EverQuest in it's classic era that can overlook a minority of players that can make the game not fun to play. There's a minority of players that would rather dispute a camp rather than get along.

P99 is not for players who want to completely avoid friction IMO. P99 is leaps and bounds better than live everquest in 1999, where people were training others and scamming people in EC like crazy. But there will be occasional issues on any non-instanced game.
I do agree that holiday events (especially ones with higher loot chances) bring out the worst in people. Personally i prefered the time when less of these events occured. Back before Green came out, an occasional xp boost was the best you could hope for.
