Camp; questions about rules

[DetroitVelvetSmooth]

@ uth - yeah yeah, i would run the show the same way. I'm saying that taken to their logical conclusion, the rules are favoring the rights of solo-ers (who are there for loot not xp) over groups. Something just feels more legit about the group's claim here, even if it precludes their physical presence in said camps.

There is of course a lot of gray, some camps are never really xp camps, some dungeons are more spread out, etc.. I just think that you cant treat individuals and groups the same way in these, admittedly, infantile conflicts.

So a group of 6 lvl 49 mages should be allowed to hold down all the named camps in lguk then?

Lol, interesting wording. Under the rules, a GROUP of them would not be allowed. But if they were 6 individuals not grouped, then they can sit on all the best loot of any given area. Legally, even though it's dickery. I just wanted to throw in my 2cp on the way a single farmer has equal claim as a group of 6 in the eyes of the rules. I have faith that our GMs are intelligent enough to recognize when the ver batim interpretation of the definition of "camp" etc. is being abused. (Sidenote : my guess is when Kunark opens and you see gear hungry 50lvls and xp hungry groups all jammed in the same zones fighting for the same spawns this discussion will be more relevant.)

Wow, so much discussion over one simple rule...

If you are camping a static spawn, BE at the spawn. It doesn't matter if it's a group or single person, just BE at the spawn.

I agree if it's xp your after, then you can get it in an area that doesnt have loot...but when it's named loot droppers----> the soloer and the group have equal claim to "camp's",
Because at those camps "most of the time" it's all about the drops anyhow [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

In 1999-2001 if I was clearing 2-3 camps with an example magician, and more players arrived in the zone, I would choose my camp and let them have what they wanted to occupy.

If I would have tried to say.. "Hey guys, yeah I'm killing these 3 camps.", they would say "Hey man, good luck when it pops, but I'll be here in aggro range."

Seems common sense to me. Instances are a different game.

Nobody with any respect or decency would walk in on two people claiming the mobs, but if we group people start flaming and all of the sudden we are in the wrong. I dont enjoy petitioning or being petitioned, i wanna sit and gain experience and be undisturbed =P Please dont quote my last line out of context to say "oh yeah sure everyone wants to camp every guk named by themselves undisturbed" this is completely different. If i was just farming platinum with 7 specs, i would be more than happy to give them up for people who wanted xp, and this isnt me running across the zone to camp them all, i can walk 5 seconds and be at the next spectre, i suppose everyone been arguing if u have to walk its not yours, but this seems a little more reasonable than camping the guards at oggok and the lizards at CT zonein. Either way question answered, and most people politely ask for a tell when theres some specs open and im happy to oblige! anyone who likes the spectres try to remember that one about me [You must be logged in to view images.

if you two can kill all 7 before repops, they're all yours. If you can't, then that is when you can't claim them all.
