What's up Taxi.

This isn't really true, unless you are just stirring the pot. I think that perception comes from the fact that 2-3 guys in the big guilds spend assloads of time in lguk, but myself, fellow guildies and even a handful of unguilded people regularly camp the Lord, AM and Frenzy.

Well i mean, every single time ive been in Guk, when CC is called the Lord is called. So wether or not guilds are camping it 24/7, it feels that way to me and if a guild wanted to camp it 24/7, the way it works right now, they could.

While Yukface's approach may have been a little above the curve for most of ya he does come with valid points.

If you are allowed to hold a camp indefinately, then pass it on to whoever the hell you want to who can then hold it indefinately with zero reprecussions or even the fear that a group of people that actually match levels with the zone in question, engage your mob while your patching a hole in your girlfriend and actually get a chance at loot dropping for them instead of having to buy it.

Camps are common courtesy, we all know that. But just because you decide to fall asleep with your speakers turned up or afk for 3 days in a zone to ensure you get to engage first is weak and will only be the death of the server when epics come out with the exception of the 2, maybe 3 guilds that are holding the zones.

No one outside of those guilds will have any chance of ever seeing a raid mob die unless they watch it on youtube. I don't think he was promoting the idea of ksing or camp stealing but more along the lines of "if all the camps are taken by soloing level 50's, whats the point of playing the game if the only way I'll see an fbss is if I buy it?" All I can say is, at least its free!

And on top of that, lets repeat that we dont know how many people that have exemptions for dual boxing are actually 2 people playing, you cant really verify that. So camping a mob for 8 hours is nothing when you got another toon to play, this camp claiming stuff advantages people who got that IP exemption and dual box.

its cool mleh, i dont mind pulling up my cuffs and getting my hands dirty with carebear blood... 8). I just think its a shame, that in their angst to make everything all lovey dovey they are actually cheating themselves out of the best memories and parts of the game. The spawn, the race, the raid synchronization required to mobilize, buff, prep and pull before someone else could was the PIPE, Success or failure was the CRACK you smoked in it (evercrack). Shit, I bet half you raiders can barely get mobilized and BUFFED in the time required to take down a mob spawn in classic EQ. The unfortunate part is that you "think" you are playing classic, and sadly based only on what i read and have heard...your far from it. The reality is its free, and its owned by Rogean or whatever, and he can do what he wants but please dont profess to be a classic experience. It's far from it. I'll just call it a Wowkin's experience. 8) which is ok too,....for Wowkins

Just on a side note, FFA with spawn variance and no more camping would be cool for mobilization and competition.

Yup, nothing screams "FUN!" and "GREAT MEMORIES!" like camping something for hours and hours, finally getting the named to pop, only to have a wizard gate in and KS it from you. OMG I CAN'T WAIT!! THOSE HOURS I WASTED WILL BE SUPERFUN TO LOOK FONDLY BACK ON!!

If I wanted that bullshit, I'd be playing on a PVP server so I could do something about it. And not as a melee class.
