Alternatively, Why don't fear golems have the same "camp" rule?
Because you can duo the hate minis? You can duo Phinny. Heck, I've seen a 60 Monk solo Phinny.
Because they have "placeholders"? Genuine question here, so the minis spawn whether or not a placeholder is up?

Two weeks ago or so, we got fte on magi and got kill but yielded loot to you Castle because of this absurd rule that was implemented. These kinds of things do not make it fun for newcomers. How do you expect the server to survive if you discourage new players from enjoying the game or having a chance at getting anything done because it's all been min/maxed and on farm mode for guilds/entities that "operate within the guidelines" that oddly favors them?

The only argument I can really think of is, the hate spawns are randomized, that's why hate minis and fear golems can't share the same camp rule. However, randomization isn't classic. Coercer and magi spawn in the revs, high priest spawns in the church, etc.

Also, why should a gm respawn a server on request? Even a zone.

Hate had an FTE ruleset. It was changed because 1 person was monopolizing all of the minis for years. Furthermore several pages of investigative research were provided regarding this 1 person and their suspected scripting and skirting the PNP policy.

The expected cheats are hard to confirm/substantiate so it appears CSR deemed that they didn't meet the requirement for taking PNP action against the individual and instead agreed to a new meta for the zone to try and curb 1 individual from outcompeting/cheating the entire server out of hate loot.

The current ruleset is the traditional camp claiming ruleset (this change was applied to other competitive mobs that don't require a raid force like drusella sathir as well). Its technically an outdoor zone so camp rules dictate that an individual or group of individuals can claim a single spawn point by camping there within line of sight and keeping the area cleared. Just like any other zones you can do a camp check and force people to clarify the exact spawns they are camping so there is no ambiguity when a mob spawns.

Classic had rotations on a couple servers where you had a set number of time to kill your targets or clear the zone. This would fix a ton of issues and make it more fun for most people but for the sweatiest of the sweat lords removing the ability to deny pixels to others is unthinkable.
