Farming by leaving zone?

The rules do pretty clearly say that you have to be in the same zone to hold a camp, but maybe that isn't a great rule?

Like suppose a druid is bound at a camp and then self-ports to a ring to sell and then gates right back to the camp in plenty of time for the next spawn. You'd have to be an asshole to try to lawyer that camp away from the druid imo.

This feels similar in some sense. The enc should be back at the spawn point with plenty of time before the next spawn so lawyering it away from them seems against the spirit of the PnP.

It's a great rule if it only applies when the placeholder (or named) is up.

Maybe the answer is this: There is no such thing as "claiming a camp" while the placeholder/named is down. Under that interpretation, the rules as written work correctly. Keeping the PH killed on time keeps the camp. Leaving the zone (while the PH is up) releases the camp. To claim a camp, engage the PH/named while the camp is open.

The above makes sense to me. I 100% agree that a druid porting to sell and gating back between PHs should not be considered relinquishing the camp.
