Handing off camps - legal?
 

I'm curious about the legality of handing off camps to someone else.

For example, say Soandso is camping a mob, and I sit there waiting for the camp to open up. Are they allowed to "give" the camp to someone who just zoned in, while I've been waiting longer? That seems to go against the general camp rules that have been established. If it's allowed than that's okay, but I just don't know what the ruling is and I've been curious lately.

I have never heard of that being okay. If it was then one guild could dominate a camp and inflate the price like crazy, but what do I know.

"We do not have a rule for how a camp will be handed off to another player. It is recommended the player interested in obtaining a camp work that out with who is on the camp already.
*Example* Player a is on jboots, player b comes and sits and just waits. If player a wants to hand off to his friend rather than player b, he has that right. If player a wants to hold a list and give to the next player on that list, that is also his right. GMs will not moderate that unless player b can prove he was deceived by player a with how the camp would be handed off. "

The original camp owner may do whatever they like with the camp when they relinquish it. That includes (but not limited to):
1) Handing it over to friends/guildies, screwing any "list" of people in line.
2) Just leaving and letting new people fight for it.
3) Handing it over to next in line/on the list.

The only camp outside of this rule is the Chancellor of Dizok, which is first-come-first serve, so sit your ass in line.

One guild did dominate a camp and inflate prices like crazy: see Kunark release Circlets of Shadow + TMO, or Lockets of Escape + TMO. While IB/TR was getting dragon loots, TMO was 'socking Droga. But I guess it worked out for them in the end.

Simply put handing over a camp is completely legal.

Unless otherwise directed by a GM... like that loio camp at one point.

wow you kids are lucky you were not on this server during release

a certain guild had manastone locked down almost 24/7 handing it off back and forth, as well as guise of the deceiver till everyone and there alts had there fill

fact 90% of the mana stones on this server came from that said guild

gm's will let you hold a camp and hand it off to whomever they want there is no list, there is no next in line

I remember people keeping 20+ person lists for FBSS camp in Classic. While there may have been people who just handed camps over to friends and guildies it most certainly wasnt in the spirit of the game or the classic player mentality.

yeah i remember there being lists where you could sign up on for a camp... or sitting in line....
