Rules regarding camps when someone has gotten the named spawn

This is what I'm talking about. I wont shame people by naming the camps, but there are items required for raiding and currently one guild is 24/7 spawn camping several of those items. There is absolutely no chance to get these items that significantly help unless they decide to sell them, and because they own the camp, they also dictate the price of this item. Seems shady and I'm 100% certain it wasn't allowed because my brother actually had to give up a camp due to a complaint of monopolization, because he would grab the same camp and just stay there constantly, using a timer to let him know when the mob would pop, then hand off the item to my other brother when he got it. We were younger then, but still I'm 100% certain that's what's happening here. The question I guess is whether anything will be done about it.

There are no anti-monopoly rules on this server as far as I am aware for normal camps, only AFK rules. On a non-instanced server, camps are contested, that is how it works. If you make rules to prevent this, that is basically a rotation, and you might as well just become an instanced server at that point.

The only anti-monopoly rules I can think of are the /list system on Green to give more people a shot at legacy items, and Bag Limits for certain raid bosses. There are also occasionally server-wide raid events where content is distributed amongst guilds, so casual players get a shot at raiding, see https://www.project1999.com/forums/s...34#post3407634 for an example of that.

Guilds do lose camps like these on occasion when the person camping the item has to log out, and nobody replaces them. Sometimes the person camping the item does something like fall asleep lol, and when people notice they are AFK for too long, they take over.

You just have to be patient and try to pounce on these breaks in the camp, which do occur from time to time.
