Request for a different policy on (game-changing) specific item camps

Leading up to kunark, we did more than a few walkthroughs of how to get to specific zones and camps within those zones on other EMU servers to drill it into people. We tested the fastest routes, built backup plans and sent a team with built in redundancies to both xalgoz and chancellor. So you understand the margins we were working with, we missed chancellor by 2 seconds to a Fusion bard and "easily" got xalgoz (by about 45 seconds). Teams were sent to other camps in similar fashion. All told, we had probably 30 people with specific instructions and redundancies to attempt to capture high priority targets. Without fail, these were pretty much the first 30 people with howling stones keys on the server.

To bring that back to the concert analogy (quite a good one), you simply planned ahead to avoid traffick and park your car in the parking lot before everybody so you could be first in the queue. Doesn't mean your friends who are arriving later can jump the queue.

There is a line at a concert to try to get tickets. There is no limit. The more of your group of friends gets in, the better concerts you can all get into later on down the line.

You are mislead here: the analogy refers to front seats, not just seats, and that is very different (if you re-read it, you will see that it is actually fundamental for the analogy). There is no concert with unlimited front seats.

Man, I'm drooling again...
