The Left Goblin Ear Problem

[Derubael]

These are actually a huge headache for us, and we've come up with (and posted about) a few "special rules" in regards to a few of these camps.

On the subject of sharing camps. What about 2 hour and 3 hour spawns and hell, even 8 and 12 and 24 hour spawns?

I imagine if u log out in between spawns, you have no claim on the camp. So if multiple people log in for the purpose of killing the mob when it respawns, who owns the camp?

As always, if you log out, you're giving up the camp.

Fortunately, rarely do these camps get attempted by multiple people at the same time. As a general rule, if the mobs are up (they usually are), whoever gets there and starts pulling/clearing first would have claim. For example, with Tola, engaging any of his golems would be considered claiming that camp. Keep in mind that as with a raid target, you need to engage with the intention of pulling and killing the named you are after. This is to prevent people from locking down spawns indefinitely to block someone else.

This one comes into question more than any others, as it's an easy to reach and popular camp. Basically, we've managed to simplify it as much as possible in a way that makes sense (to us, at least). If you're camping Tranix, you have to stay in his room. You're free to go kill Skarlon or any of the other giants, but if someone comes into Tranix's room while you're out killing the other giants, you've forfeited the camp. The other camps work the same way. Also keep in mind that for Tranix to be camped you must keep the giants in his room clear.

Who is now camping the mob - first person in the area or first group capable of killing it? Is it an FTE race? If it is not considered a raid mob, then what rules cover it?

I think I answered these questions above, but if not feel free to poke holes where necessary.
