Let's say you're camping something in...say, lguk or Najena. You know the spawn time, and it's approximately 25 minutes.

You kill the PH for the named and any relevant mobs for camping the named.

Do you go afk for 20 minutes and do something productive or do you sit there and stare at your computer screen the whole time? Likewise, if you see some 50 druid buffing/healing a lowbie, then sitting them for large periods of time, would you assume "well, that automatically means theyre boxing - OMG LOOK TWO PEOPLE AND ONE ISNT MOVING EVERY 15 SECONDS!"

If you see people who appear to be boxing, report it. The guides/GMs have their ways of knowing whether someone is 2boxing without the boxer even knowing that they're being watched, and regardless whether boxing or showeq is happening, you can let them make that discretion with facts instead of posting here about your assumption that the showeq/boxing boogeyman is ruining your EQ experience.

You know the spawn time is 25 mins, then your mobs shouldn't be sitting there when your afk.. You shouldn't complain to the guy who kills your unengaged mobs, while you sit there afk. If your going to claim a camp I think you should be there to defend it. If you wish to afk, that is fine, but if that mob pops, and your still afk, then you shouldnt be able to claim that camp. Classic eq, was first to hit, got the mob.. didnt matter how long you sat there afk, on some safe hillside, outside of the room, in some safe corner while you afk...

Deny the boxers all you wish, keep your blinders up and ignore them all you want. Make excuses for them, and yourself, if that makes you happy. Afterall, what is the point of playing a game, if your not going to play, but sit on one spot, afk 58 minutes out of each hour? Yes, they are doing something more productive with their other 58 minutes, playing other alts, camping other spawns, selling their wares in EC..

Some people are here to play a game. Not to build up a bank account, not to sell shit for real cash and not to cheat in order to get ahead. Some people, actually like to crawl through dungeons, like to challenge themselves in good game play. Some people refuse to be plvld, rezed, or twinked. There are some people who want 1999 because it is more challenging, than the live dumbed down versions.

If you are afk when something pops then you do lose the camp, so your rant is terrible. The rules just say you have to give them a reasonable amount of time, maybe send them a quick /t and see if they are around. If they don't engage then you can take over the camp.

If someone was sitting at a mob, you message them, if 30 seconds go by with no action taken then you are free to engage. I don't think anyone would be against you taking over and you should have a strong case if the guy tried to get you in trouble with a gm.

As for you saying boxers are the ones afk.. thats dumb. Anyone that is camping something with a long timer is most likely afk during some point of it. Whether or not you are afk watching a movie, or a boxer like you mentioned. In either case if they are competent at camping in any way they will know when the spawn is coming and be active when it pops.
