I do not see it as saying that players are required to either maintain a list hours and hours out or lose the ability to pass the camp to whomever they please. You are saying that if I get a camp at 10 am on my day off and I plan to stay there until 7pm, and I know that a bunch of my friends will be logging in between 5pm and 7pm, I am not allowed to wait knowing that I will have a friend online who might want the camp. That I'm not allowed to say to somebody at noon "I'm not keeping a list" without losing the ability to pass the camp off to a friend seven hours later. That is the part that I'm calling bullshit weird interpretation on.
And your interpretation here:

"If he doesn't, you may ask to be next and your claim will be valid unless he reveals the next person immediately. "

So this is "if you're keeping a list but it's empty you need to give spots to people waiting". Seems kinda weird to interpret it that way.

If someone asks to be on the list they're on the list... everything else just sounds like games to hand off to a friend.

"Sorry you missed the 19 second window I was opening a list bro"

What you guys are saying is that every player, at every camp, is required to maintain and honor a first come, first serve list for the camp. That all throughout the day I have to keep track of the first person to ask about the camp, and every time another person asks about it I have to check and see if the first person is still online, and if they're not then I have to start keeping track of this new person and see if they're online the next time somebody asks, etc, and then seven hours later I wouldn't be able to offer the camp to a friend unless that cycle of people asking about the camp was broken.

You are saying that players are required to maintain lists for camps, and that is the opposite of players being free to hand camps off to whoever they choose.

That has nothing to do with it. I'm saying that the prevailing stance is that players are free to hand a camp off to whoever they choose and also that players are not required to maintain a list if they don't want to. What you guys are saying here is the exact opposite of that.

Except that isn't the prevailing stance, it's only your ignorance of the rules. There is a clear ruling that has been linked and pasted here.

Stop saying that we are saying things that we are not saying, know what I'm saying?

im sure everyone would like a "person who waited here gets priority" situation but I cant imagine the CSR nightmare that would come from that kind of conflict of interests between players

As opposed to the conflict of interest of handing off camps only to your buddies?

Or are you saying "I'm sure we'd all like people to follow the official rulings of the staff, but it doesn't fit my raiding guild's requirements".
