People of appropriate level can no longer get jboots

I always thought the unwritten rule was "don't be a dick". OP is certainly being a dick. But then so is anyone MQing stuff for profit if they're shitting on leveling players in the process.

See in the past: rogue epics.

Please explain how camping and selling MQs differs from camping and selling tradable loot. Go ahead, I'll wait.

Where did I mention tradeable loot? Go ahead, I'll wait too.

I've personally experienced the ridiculous bottleneck on the old rogue epics. Got dunked on by Calabee who went on to admit being a known RMTer. I just wanted to quest my own, is that a crime? The only savior along the whole of that was Liia who MQ'd it fairly often but let me go ahead at the Lake Rathe part (never forget the good people).

By saying someone is "shitting on levelling players" here, you're implying you think people are dicks for camping something they don't receive XP for, whether it's an MQ or tradable. Not the case, and not how Everquest works.

Sony tried to stop people from camping lower level items with their trivial loot code in a couple places like Warrens and it was pretty reviled for its stupidity and thus not widely adopted.

The fundamental difference between farming and camping lot is risk aversion. Camping is not working, it is gambling. You are waiting for the chance to get the item sooner than you could working for it. Farming is working. You are guaranteed acquisition. Of said item following a given investment of your time.
