I will!

Look, obviously if person A can get XP from a camp, and person B can't, then it would certainly be nice for person B to let person A take the camp. Ideally they would buy whatever item (eg. CB belt) is involved from A, and everyone wins: A gets XP and some extra cash, and B gets their items. That's being a nice considerate person, and we need more nice considerate people in the server. Again, I've never farmed these items, but I'd like to think that's what I would do in this situation.
But there's a whole spectrum in between "nice considerate person" and douchebag. To me being a douchebag is when you try to steal someone else's mob or take someone else's camp. In other words, to me being a douchebag is when you try to take something that isn't your's . I don't see wanting to keep the camp you spent your time to get as that.
We're playing a 15+ year old elf simulator that revolves around virtual treasures that are "earned" through time and effort. At the end of the day who cares if you're simulating a level 60 elf or a level 1 ogre: you're still a person playing a game. If you ignore the toons, there's no escaping that you're talking about one person being shamed for not letting another person take something that they had first.
Now I'm not talking about a level 60 monopolizing all of Crushbone: that would be zone disruption. But if you, the human, want to kill in the throne room, I think you should have to "earn" it (wait for it) the same as any other human: you shouldn't just get to take it because you spent less time playing the game and showed up late.
Because you're lower level it would be
nice if that person let you have it anyway. But just as I wouldn't fault someone for not donating money they earned to charity, I wouldn't fault anyone for not giving up the camp they "earned". I fault them when they try to take money they didn't earn from the donation jar, or try to take a camp they didn't earn from someone who did earn it .
I'd like to think I'm still nice

But look, just because when I think about what's fair and what's douchebaggy I come to a different conclusion than you, it just means that we disagree, it doesn't mean either of us are a douchebag or "not nice". Reasonable people with good moral fiber can still disagree about what's "good".
