I don’t have a dog in this race, myself, but what would be the rationale for not allowing it? And why does it feel wrong to some players?

Simple fix, don't help them corpse it. Make them log over and therefore lose their spot on the list. Sure they still get one more than they had but at least they give up the camp to the next person in line.

Or better yet make them a deal...tell ya what I'll loot this one and you can keep the camp [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Why would they need to log over at all. Helping them corpse it just makes it a little bit easier. Plenty of ways to kill themselves without losing the spot. Just go drown.

Why even have LORE?[You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
I take the view of the original coding, if players were meant to have more than 1, it wouldn't be lore. That's why LORE exists. Pretty sure the original servers also banned people for this behavior.

Nah, people corpsed stuff, but wasn't widely known. Most people didn't see the value of it and TBH the usecase is quite niche. You have to die, lose all your buffs, go to your bind point, get back to your corpse then loot everything except the item. That's very different from carrying unlimited # of a lore item.

As CSR in era I don't recall this ever being against the rules. I also don't remember it being a rampant or well known practice either though

It wasn't an issue because most people got the item and moved on.

They weren't the sweatlords of today farming shit camps in 2024 because after 25 years they're still bad at everquest.

Well that and when you're on an emulated server for a 25 year old game a large portion of the people playing are going to be those types of people. I think there were a lot of sweatlords back then they just weren't as noticeable because they were spread across tons of servers and hundreds of thousands of players.
