How I believe most camps were intended to work!

Granted there are some solo camps like hadden, recfek, and the hermit(s).

However, there are also a lot of harder camps with more group dynamics. I believe the idea was that everyone would fill up their groups to 6 players, and the share the drop rates, people wouldn't all try to claim camps solo. The more group with more players was always favored by the GMs on Bertoxxulous. So more players == more loot rights == more chance for loot.

Granted its a douche move to role into a camp and expect to join a group, but places like Lord in guk. Frenzy. Royals. Firegiants. Highpass orcs etc were never intended to be 'solo camps'. These were always intended to be grouping spots where even people at higher lvl then the camp would 'party it up' and socialize while waiting for drops.

Real mature adults use to be able to party hard, and would willingly spend days sharing a camp with their online friends. This is the original way.

Now this is 2020 and I do not bemone enchanters and necros bringing the prices down on FBSS's and SSBs or earings of magic reflexion, but I believe as a community we have lost a lil touch with ourselves expecting and believing we are entitled to hold all these camps solo on our velious geared BIS toons. And by doing so we hurt the community, and by hurting the community we hurt the devs and Rogean, and Brad, and in turn the game, and ourselves.

Just food for thought. Consider this a very HARD suggestion, not a demand to comply with my beliefs and feelings, I feel however left unsaid, it is a crime against decency and grace.

I agree. Group up.

Grouping is great, and super fun for the most part. However, many of us are in a different place in life at this point so solo is more practical. There is no right or wrong in it. As for me. I mostly play solo and join raids when I can (casual raider--not "raider" status).

This is one reason I usually roll a rogue so I kind of force myself to be more social in-game, aside from my usual friends and guildies I enjoy bullshitting with. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Ultimately, you dictate how you will play, and how you will be perceived by others. Have fun, don't let the game become tedious and tiresome, don't be an asshole to others, and, most importantly, do not let a game interfere with your goals as a person.

Cheers!

Right now I just kinda hang around the edges of groups in the shadows leaching faction hits...
