A great way to deal with this and related problems that are running rampant of late is for the GMs and guides to swing into action and start handing out suspensions and bans to people for zone disruption.
No need for rules changes. In fact, this is a perfect example of how the rules, as written, are neither classic nor how things were handled in later eras live. You are being asked for a camp check by these asshats so they can pin you down committed to a single spawn while they pull everything else. Sony never acknowledged camps for that reason.....Camps were purely a player-honored thing, but it worked because it was pretty much universally accepted by the players. They balanced this by making judgement calls on disruption and enforcing the actual rule, which was first to engage gets the mob. And, generally, it worked. Especially since peole who violated camps eventually got themselves sorted out.....You might get away with it a few times but eventually you would piss off the wrong person and they (or a guild) would make a project out of you...Or post on server boards and word would get out fast in you. Here, people lawyer around the non classic camps rule and, technically, by the nonclassic rule, they are in the right.
Since it comes up, the thing about not pulling through other groups even if they have set up camp in the middle of the pathing or in a doorway, etc, isn't classic either. In fact, setting up camp in places like that, also, make those players zone disruptors by the actual live classic standards. But by the stated rules here, people legitimately using the content as intended are, apparently, trainers should a group of regards decide to set up camp in the middle of a hall or doorway that other groups need to pull thru.
Well intended, I'm sure, but it's ass backwards.
