Back to the original topic...

I think this whole list thing is BS, at least in theory. Ie if I'm camping a manastone I shouldn't be able to just have my friend take over the camp when I leave IF someone else is there and willing to take it. I think whenever the original camper leaves, whoever is actually at the camp should /rand it or whatever. Of course, the original camper could also just stay and try to force any competition out, or people end up bringing 10 of their friends and all do a /rand to stack the odds.

So in practice it might not work to do away with lists... but at least in theory once the original camper leaves all rights to the camp go to whoever is physically at the camp. If there are competitors, /rand.

Level 50 Member of Guild A is soloing Lord camp in Guktop.
Level 50 Member of Guild B sees it camped and chooses to wait.
Three level 30 members of Guild A come and group with the Level 50 of Guild A.
One hour passes and the Level 50 of Guild A decides he needs to get going.

So you are saying that the two level 30 members of Guild A should be forced to leave the camp based on the fact that the other person was there longer?

I have handed off many camps in my day and I really don't see a problem with it. Look at it like a group with revolving members. Just because the 6 people that were in the group controlling a spawn are not the same 6 people that are there now, does not mean that the camp was never unattended and you deserve it. Group members change, they never give up their spot.

Sure you could say they are "abusing the system" but from a GM perspective, it is a party with changing members that never leaves the camp unattended. There is no reason for that party to ever give it up.
