Can you camp an entire zone? I said you can't, someone said he could

If he's "camping the whole zone" and refusing to share, he better be able to stay on top of spawns.

It doesn't matter whether he's staying on top of the spawns or not, he can't "camp the whole zone."

The server rules are clear: Oggok man-child (who has mysteriously avoided being named/shamed) can camp the whole zone until you show up. The moment you do, he gets to claim one spawn point. Maybe if there is a logical grouping of spawn points that are all close together and in line of sight, a GM might let him camp all of them.

But after he picks that one spawn/camp, you get to do the same, and then every other mob in the zone becomes free-for-all, and whoever agroes them first gets them. This has nothing whatsoever to do with how many mobs the guy was holding down before. In fact, if you're really lucky, he will race to greedily claim as many mobs as he can once the free-for-all starts ... and then get himself killed in the process.

Now of course if you're dealing with a normal/polite player who is keeping all the spawns down, the correct/nice thing to do is let them keep all those spawns and move on to somewhere else instead of you both getting half of what you want. But if someone is being a dick, you absolutely should feel free to use your knowledge of the rules to force them to share, and if they don't you absolutely should petition them (ideally with fraps, but even without them the staff have other ways to see how the both of you have been behaving).
