But we're not talking about that, we're talking about camps, and those were not monopolized by guilds on live.
So you are saying monopolies were a thing on live, and guilds were the ones who had them. Again you make points that go directly against your argument. If you are suggesting Idol camp specifically wasn't monopolized on live, that is not really relevant. Idol camp being monopolized is a consequence of the custom P99 raiding rules. If you want this camp to stop being monopolized, the answer is not changing the PnP rules, it is making P99 more classic by reducing the custom raiding rules and custom clickie nerfs.

The GM guidebook headline is literally "Contested Spawn Complaints" not "contested zone or large area complaints"!

Again, we have the single opinion of someone who's literally been playing a re-creation that's existed longer than the original ... and we have the actual (original) book used by the GMs.
The official GM guidebook is also not really relevant to P99. It was designed around the assumption that the game would have full time paid GMs who could consistently aid players with resolving issues. Our server can't emulate that part of classic Everquest, so we cannot use those rules. That is why the PnP gives more power to the camp owner, in the hopes that they can act as an arbiter in a GM's place when disputes occur.
