Is a "No Lock-Down" Rule Possible?

The wiki is non classic, and is a source of many challenges that didn't exist in classic simply because information was harder to come by.

The PnP is classic.

P1999 is supposed to recreate the classic experience as closely as possible according to its stated intent.

Why its not enforced given the ease of enforcing (does not require coding, more resources than the current ruleset - likely substantially less) it raises some interesting questions IMO.

Ignorance of the situation whereby you state "just wait for the camp" doesn't help. You cannot wait for a camp when a person or guild is monopolizing things like Scout with autofire or hate golems with round the clock farming.

There is a reason some epic pieces are farmed and hoarded on alts to be sold for 500,000 pp. There is also a reason you often see the words "WTS loot rights" in EC or forum posts. Reason is not to do with people waiting a few hours to get their camp.

When you consider 500,000 pp would take a normal (non-neckbeard) a year or two of farming the suggestion the camps are available is ludicrous.
