Camping Raid Mobs... gone on long enough ?!

[rioisk]

1) Auto-logout is a nice idea after a certain time AFK (20-30 minutes?). This would make it so people can't AFK to keep the required 15 in zone to call raid targets. It would also have a side benefit of people not being able to AFK camp named mobs (fishbone earring *cough*)

2) Simulated patch days once a week for an all-pop would be VERY nice solution. This would make it so guilds would know exactly when to expect pops and they can race to the spawn points. This does, unfortunately, benefit large guilds who can go after multiple targets at once and will likely cause problem with multiple guilds camping out at certain spawn points.

3) Rotation system will not work, the 24-hour a day no-jobers won't agree. They need their EQ fix.


I think the real problem is lack of content in general.

Yeah. No. If I am camping a mob that has a 22 minute timer, I will not be tabbed in for 21 of those 22 minutes. Gonna have to be way longer than standard repop times there, broski.

Tabbed in okay, but completely afk i have to disagree with.

Your character being online doesn't mean dick to me, if 10 of your 15 force has been afk at work for the past 8 hours thats not part of your 15 imo. Thats bullshit.

How can you claim that you have a 15 player force ready for the boss when it pops when you really only have 5. I'm sorry if people feel they deserve a mob for being logged in for most of the timer but if you aren't there, how the fuck can you claim it?

This is a presumptuous post.

If people are legit sitting at their pc for 3 days straight then good job they deserve it, but somehow i doubt it.

Sleeping for 8 hours logged in does NOT mean you're camping dick, in my book.

Yes, I think you should have to be at your screen waiting for the pop to claim camping. That's how I did manastone for 20+hours straight, i didn't sleep for half of it and have a friend text me when it dropped so I could loot.

Pretty sure I've read a post or 2 about people sleeping while "camping" or even going to work. Its bullshit, In my opinion, if thats how the devs want it to happen then awesome good job.

If you're going to sit at an 8 hour camp, you shouldn't be expected to be non-AFK that entire time. That's ridiculous.

No, it will just make it so that everyone installs an AutoHotKey script with random intervals and movements.

an AFK here or there isnt a problem but when you have people going afk for the Majority of the respawn, say 6 hours of hadden, its bullshit.

If you don't want to be at the screen for 8 hours show up early, if someone else beat you to it and is actually at the screen guess what they deserve it more than you for wanting to sit afk for hours of the camp.

I honestly don't know how a person can feel they deserve the camp when they don't actually camp it.
