In fact, that's why I was there: I actually would have preferred to buy an MQ, but no one was selling, and I wanted JBoots for my Necro alt, so ...

Even if you somehow could ban resellers, I'm sure there'd still be huge interest in that camp (and long lines). But if you get there early, and are prepared to AFK wait awhile, you'll likely get your ring at some point later that day. Then you just have to murder some shadow men, chase a gnome while carrying a bunch of gold, and you're set ;)

Or camp at night until 2 in the morning. I usually can't play without interruptions until 8PM onward. If six hours isn't enough to get one of these things after peak hours are over, then I'm probably screwed.

Well, whenever you're dealing with a mob that has a rare chance of appearing, you're always going to be at the mercy of RNJesus ;) But that said, as long as you aren't super unlucky, I think six hours, in the middle of the night (on Blue) sounds like a realistic goal to me.

Also, there's another option, which is to camp out there, and just check in at various times. As popular as the camp is, there are also periods where no one shows up to join the line, so if you keep checking in, eventually you'll catch the list when it has very few people ahead of you (possibly even just one or zero, with some luck ... and of course your chances will be better later).

Well, I'll just do what I can when the time comes. It's quite a ways off at the moment, I'm only Level 15 on this Paladin and the AC in OoT is Level 41 or so, so I'll need at least 46 to take it on, preferably 49 when I get my last big batch of new spells.

I think the AC camp is too boring and could use some spicing up.

For example, instead of 100%, make the ring drop rate the same as the Rubi BP's drop rate was off AoF.

Think of the epic stories and drama we'll hear here on the forum! /drool

I can get on board spicing up this camp. But I propose we add a new spawn to the table instead. It will be an army of 57 Hasten Bootstrutters who immediately take off running in all directions. The next mob in the cycle cannot spawn until each and every one is chased down and killed.

+1 for this community-building idea
