Etiquette when 'claiming' a camp during a CC

One of the few things that irritates me in this game is when you do a CC, wait like 5 minutes, no one responds, then you move to the camp and sure enough someone is camping it. Makes no sense to me, because it only benefits the person holding the camp by keeping people out of their camp.

When you're camping something you usually know that (say) "the next PH/Named will be in 22 minutes". That means you don't have to watch your chat window religiously for that 22 minutes: you can go AFK, or maybe stay at the keyboard but ignore chat. Just because someone doesn't notice a CC doesn't mean they're deliberately trying to make people waste time.

CCs are a courtesy, and I believe the staff has confirmed as much (eg. not responding to a CC does not mean you lose your camp). We should all be courteous, and respond to CCs when we can, but everyone should also understand that they are only a courtesy.
