Hypothetical situation:

Pablo the Friendly Necromancer is camping the AC spawn in South Ro. Jimmy the Young Camp Lawyer is sitting nearby.

Halfway through one of his spawn timers, Pablo decides to visit the dark elf vendors and sell some heavy loot he had been carrying. Upon his return one minute later, Pablo finds Jimmy is now occupying the camp. Citing the case Camp Lawyers vs. Lower Guk (2010), Jimmy says:



At that point, adherent to the letter of the law, the camp now belongs to Jimmy.

My question is this, and is a matter of opinion: Did Jimmy exercise poor etiquette claiming the camp as his own? Does Pablo have any right to be angry with Jimmy?

I've tried to find it, but there was some precedent where you can run around a small radius provided the mob is nowhere near spawning again. Your example should likely fit within that precedent.

SRO specifically fits perfectly within that as there's only 1 camp in the zone, if the roamer is down that should be considered constructive notice that it's camped (IE the situation and surroundings were obvious enough to convey that it's camped with no action on the part of the camper), and finally a pet on the spawn point should be sufficient to hold it.

The camp rules are structured so as to provide a solid framework to establish camps, and the current GM's seem to very much approach the situations viewing the totality of the circumstances, meaning that if the PH is down and you run to the vendors, it should be obvious it's camped, and as long as you run right back, you're likely to maintain the camp.

And yes, Jimmy is very loose butthole.
