Now you have 20 HPs and 5 dex more than another competing melee - and to think people might say you literally completely wasted 3 days on this Earth.

Competing melee? Who is he competing against? Can't he just get it because he wants it for his character? If your only motivation for playing is telling people your max hp/ac/mana you may wanna take a break or move on imo

We might be talking about two completely different items miss spyder. This mask gave me a ton of resists close to 80 more hp then my old mask some dex and whatever else the hell it gives! All it took was me parking a character there and check back every window! Yes mam you are absolutely right about the three days though! I couldn't play Everquest for three whole days! What a drag huh? Thanks for your interest!

Good luck staying awake and never afking for 72 hours. Honestly, it's people like you that make that camp a living hell - having to take naps with one eye open to stave off the constant barrage of the clueless.

Learning how to sleep at your keyboard in a semi-functional state IS the game of EQ.

Classic.

Camps I've run with a list have operated under one basic principle:

If you fail to maintain a presence in the zone (preferably main), you forfeit your spot on the camp. For a camp like Stormfeather, that would mean that nobody is on the list unless physically (both in zone and NOT afk) at the time that the camp is ready to be turned over.

Ie those that want to be on the list cannot be logged in elsewhere for any reason. Otherwise those willing to forfeit right to play in other capacity are hosed.

For a camp like SF that has 36hr spawn + chance to skip? Going afk to sleep or do whatever else is A-ok in my book ... as long as you are at keyboard and ready when it pops.

5 minutes is NOT a reasonable amount of time to wait for any non raid mob in the game. You might as well ask someone trying to contest said mob to call them on the phone to ask if it's okay to kill the mob they aren't caring enough about to pay attention to.

I've waited a minute at most for everything I've killed, including SF. I have not yet been banned in this game, period.

1 single minute is all anyone needs. Camping a mob SHOULD require at least the diligence of an alarm clock. Its called preparation. Buff before the mob spawns. If you don't know the timer, then you shouldn't be truly AFK to begin with and the whole waiting nonsense is moot point (at least in my book).

If someone's holding a camp and starts buffing shortly after it spawns, kudos bro its yours. If a minute passes without a single move from the camper? Shit is fair game.

GM said 5 minutes the fair amount of time so it doesn't fucking matter what you think. Enjoy eating a ban next time you want to be a dick

This. If it's a camp with multiple mobs and all mobs are fully respawned, take it all. Maintaining a presence and all of that, as per the rules. For a single target mob, /con, /time, /tell the camper "clock is running", screenshot, and drop the nuke on the mob at 5:30 if stalling is happening with a fresh /con, /time screenshot taken. My policy on the subject from here on out.
