This is what people who don't raid don't understand. None of this content is designed for a "first 15 to aggro" rule. None of it. What you are seeing is how far people are willing to take shit to kill mobs. What you are seeing is competition within the confines of the current raid rules. The variance is making the camping far worse than it needs to be. It should be removed.

There is no difference between one druid and an additional 14 people camping a mob. So 14+ people camp out at WC instead of in the zone? It takes 2 seconds to port to LS/zone in.

It takes 2 seconds to port to Hate

Fear is the only real FFA zone (kinda). The way CT aggro works it throws FFA out the window.

Perma just requires some potions. Then it takes literally 3 minutes to zone in.

Such a huge difference. But why would a guild want to log out in WC when they can log out in the zone instead? Why log off when you can remain logged in and establish claim? It's not your fault if nobody roll calls you or timers you. Any of the current pick up raids or "raiding guilds" can do this but they don't.

I agree that the camping needs to stop, but this is not going to be an easy solution. There are massive egos preventing any true reform. People are going to want to mold rules that they think favor them the most. It's human nature.

If you truly want "competition" a completely new raid system, independent from any server rules would have to be created. A game within a game. Every raiding guild would have to agree to these rules. The current system of 15 in zone, timers, roll calls, camping, ect. is a game within a game. A very tedious and strategic one, but a game nonetheless. If you want shit to change you need to create a completely new system which would require honesty from all guilds and a willingness for everyone to comply.

Good luck with that!
