Etiquette when 'claiming' a camp during a CC

Or at least that's how I understand it ... any young lawyers out there care to correct me?

Yeah you were pretty much on.

Specifically:

That being said, you can absolutely "camp" mobs, and you cannot steal another players 'camp'. In general, if the placeholder or placeholders for a spawn are being killed, that 'camp' can be considered held by the player doing the killing so long as they are keeping the placeholders cleared. You do not necessarily need to be at the spawn point to call it 'claimed' while it is uncontested, however, if someone else wishes to contest the 'camp' you do need to return to the 'camp' and maintain a presence at or very near the spawn(s) in order to hold it. It should also be noted that if you camp out or leave the zone (this includes dying/"corpsing" items), you have forfeited a camp. You cannot hold multiple 'camps' if another group wishes to contest one that you are holding. The player holding multiple 'camps' retains the right to choose which 'camp' to give up.

And that's exactly how it happened. Looks like the rules, when followed, do ensure a good time for all!

PH up, with nobody in room equals not being killed. Otherwise it's pure speculation between the players as to the intent of them actually camping the mob. Mob up, and not in room equals not camped.

Nah, I think he's right. How can you claim a camp is yours when the mob is up and you aren't in the room when the rules say:

Most players won't hold you to a "you didn't autofire engage that frenzied velium broodling within .5 seconds so it's an open camp" ... but if you need to run afk for 3 minutes or you had a hard fight and you're LOM when a PH is back up or something... you shouldn't be too upset if someone else "takes your mob."

Sure. But he isn't able to claim the camp as his if he isn't keeping the ph down. How can he choose to retain that which is not his at all?

He can't.

I think way too many people on this server need to go see the sun... and GM enforced rules of any kind outside of bug abuse are why everyone moved away from EQ.

Literally can't even play on this server without a fucking law book. Ever sit back and think what made EQ fun to begin with? Killing shit, and dying in funny ways.
Not lawyering up on every single damn mob pop.

This crap is why I rarely log in these days. My last attempt at a game session was basically: log in outside Karnors and kill one mob.. 3 people message me that this side is camped. I walk around the other side... bard had 20+ mobs running in circles. Zone in, pull an intrance mob, random druid "this is camped." Spam LFG for 45 minutes while typing /who all W/e and sending tell's that never get replied to. Buy a port to WC swing by tunnel and see nothing I need, then head to Guk.. everything is camped by level 55+'s farming drops. Leave guk and go to Emerald jungle and swing by Trak... 2 rangers arguing over who's camping what... log out.
