Mardur: Standing afk somewhere != putting in time imo. That's the problem.. you should have to at least actively be doing something or at least at your keyboard to be able to say that you're camping it.

What the fuck is the difference between sitting there staring at a monitor with your thumb up your ass and actually doing something away from the computer while you wait 20 hours? There's none except the former is stupid. You're waiting for your turn on a 4 hour spawn, why the hell should you have to stare at a wall in LOIO for it to be valid?

The difference is the misery you put in for the former to get that item, so only those who really wanted it could have it. That's what camping a spawn used to be all about on live. You'd turn yourself into a crack head for 20+ hours, and only you or others who have done the same can explain the feeling when you get that item. You really deserved it at that point.

The way this JCP line is set up allows you to bypass that misery. You really don't have to put in any pain or give two shits about the item for the reward. You can claim a spot, AFK while you do something you would have otherwise done anyway if you weren't playing EQ, and score. This does not reward anybody.

Every camp in the game should have the same rules. Period. I don't mind doing whatever it takes, as long as the rules are consistent.

This kind of crap only confuses people and causes the creation of threads that whine about slightly changing the rules back and forth on a camp that is already an exception to what are supposed to be the rules of the server.

Go farm the plat to buy it. Seriously. If it was worth making a whine thread, and thereby getting laughed at and mocked, then it's worth farming the plat to simply buy it.

There's no way to please everyone. The most fair method is the line- nothing can be done for your shitty internet.

Just buy it. It's not 100k.

Special rules should not have been created for one camp. It should have just been treated the same way every other camp is treated.

Every other camp should be treated the way this one is IMO, with the addition of AFK == not in line. Being able to monopolize camps between you and your friends/guild is ridiculous. Anyone attempting that on live would have been forced to share with everyone via PnP.

It's been gone over about 1,000 times since Kunark came out: YOU CANNOT DO THAT.

Camping Seb King and your cleric has to go? Well that's too bad, because next in line is a monk! Hope he brought some bandages...

Blame guilds for being shit bags in the first place for how they acted the 3 weeks after Kunark went live. Personally anyone from TMO bitching about a cockblock camp for a item makes me crackle with glee.

Troy, you play a lot of asian games don't you?

p99 is the only game I've played in years. A 6-minute spawn would ensure that you have to actually play the game to get the item, not get in some line and then NOT play the game for hours/days.

We're talking about a camp where the next person in line can solo it. By definition if you invite him to your group, then your group can indeed handle the camp. Way to make irrelevant arguments.
