If you're high enough to clear all the orcs solo are you even getting XP for it? If you're just interested in the Idol why care about someone nabbing one or two spawns by the zoneline for scalps/xp/faction whatever he was there for? In Classic there were usually two orc groups because nobody was running around with Green Jade Broadswords and other super cheap Kunark gear.

Being in range to get experience from a mob with a key item has never, ever, ever been an issue with camps on the server. Like, ever. The idol that drops is a specific one of a kind deal with its effect that is especially useful in raiding, or for personal use in reaching a location that would normally be a death sentence to try. Plane of Mischief zone click is the first example that comes to mind.

There's no burden on any player to cheerfully farm plat in some other location and then enter EC hoping that an appropriate level player happened to score the item they need from a camp they were able to get experience from. A player mowing down orcs for CB belts? That kind of thing is garbage and should be called out. A player mowing down orcs for a specific item that might not even make an appearance of 3-4 days of camping, if their luck is bad? It's not even the same thing.

Exactly, I was asking why the OP really cared about the other guy getting the other spawns if he was just there for the idol.

1st Suspensions is 7 days. 2nd 30 days. 3rd their discretion. For those that say they show up and talk to you first, they dont. They watch you and make a decision based on what they see.

On top of that they are back logged with petitions as is so it will be a few days if they even answer you.

People are asshole, I wouldnt put it past them to be in another guild and wanted the spawn spot for themselves and just out lawyerquested you.

This petition was surely tactical and aimed at taking control of the camp by a rival guild.

Also, I thought pathing outdoor mobs couldn't be camped? Orcs, even idol, should be FTE. Let chaos reign!

The rules on this server are not clearly stated anywhere and will change based on how a gm feels that day. Hence why we have this exact thread every few weeks.

It was at this point I decided to no longer be kind to the casuals as they have extreme short term memory. They did this to themselves, unfortunately.

no guides will be available for question as they're all unpaid volunteers and don't have time for such trivial matters

But didn't realize that this is more like... P99's 4chan or something.

except instead of random anons its a shark attack of a small clique that posts here all the time. so he's doubly fucked.

wait.. I thought in order to hold a camp you had to clear the surrounding mobs around it too?
Think of Sir Lucan. Isnt the rule to hold the camp being you have to kill Jentry and that other guard in the room with him? Cant just "Hide" in the room afk til he spawns?
