If you are doing a camp like this for an item for another char you run the risk of someone else looting it unfortunately.
I would double check this with a GM, because it has never been this way, even after the PNP rules update. You can log off and log on another char and loot the item, you do not lose loot rights because you log off. You can however lose camp rights if you log out or zone out, and I think you may be conflating these 2 policies.

Warning to those reading, you cannot loot someone else's kill without permission.[You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Please link the ruling.

It is a deeply established precedent here that killing a mob entitles a player to the loot rights of that mob.

I'm pretty sure this in not correct. From what I read out of the ruling (what I recall at least) it was during an Ancient Cyclops dispute, they said the loot rights go to the player, meaning you CAN camp the mob and then log onto another toon to loot the item. However, you must then give up the camp, regardless of what character of yours looted it, you are only allowed to get 1 of that item if others are waiting in line. I'm not sure how this applies to the ass/sup camp, I just know that's what I saw for the AC camp.

There is a petition forum to post this OP, not the general chat.
By this logic you shouldn't be able to loot it on your alt either since he took no part in the kill. (Hint: this logic is wrong)

Rights go to the player, not the character.

The lawyering is strong in this thread. Is it time?

Impossible, as players have no way of knowing which person plays which characters so anyone could claim the loot that way.

Ive made a petition, but someone in /ooc said to me I should make a post in the forum here as well. what can I do? . . .
Why would you report him? He did nothing wrong. When you /logout you give up the camp and any loot rights.

Incorrect.

Please see this thread, specifically my post on page 19 & Eunomia's on page 18.

Logging off to switch characters does not forfeit these rights.

Logging off while claiming a camp forfeits the camp claim if no other party member continues a presence at the camp during that "log off" absence. If the person logging off with no other party member present returns prior to another player claiming the camp, they may reclaim the camp.

You may not agree with the server's rules and policies, but we would appreciate it if you do not mislead other players while voicing your opposition.

Those rules only apply to raid and group kills. You may want to read again.
