This is pretty freaking annoying, I really hate /anon people in general, but what really grinds my gears is people who don't respond to a camp check.
Like the other day... I did a /who all gukbottom and like 5 people lower level were in there. I asked one of them to do a CC for me, and he responded, we are doing ass/sup and one other guy responded doing EE. Well, I go yeah! lets go get frenzy or lord or something. So I run my ass all the way to guk and get there and do a /who (which shows anon people) however there were only 3 people in the zone all <40. When I did a CC, only EE was taken. The rest of my group arrives shortly after me and by the time we get down to the safe hall before frenzy, someone else in the zone shouts CC. Obviously we are heading to the frenzy camp so I reply "frenzy." After shouting "Frenzy" a <nameless enchanter> throws a PMS bitch fit in shout that he is at that camp and we shouldn't call a camp we aren't at. (Mind you he hasn't responded to 3+ Camp checks or was even in the zone when I got there, and my group is in safe hall about to ivu to frenzy). He has a couple PMS's spread out by 10 minute breaks because he was probably masturbating to anime porn while afk camping frenzy. It really wasn't a big deal since we took lord/am, but it would be nice if people either a) responded to camp checks, or b) didn't bleed all over gukbottom when someone mistakenly thinks the camp is open because they are too busy jacking it to anime porn to reply to a camp check. (pre-apologizes to all the females out there) | ||

Right now only around 1/4th of the players are /anon and its already pretty bad with you having to run to the actual zone to see if the camp is taken. Everyone who is ok with this imagine this scenario. If tomorrow everyone went /anon and ignored all CCs it would ruin the server. Now you have to run to a zone and clear to the actual mob to see if the camp is free. Lets take it one step further and everyone just hides and makes themselves invisible until 10 seconds before the mob they are camping spawns. Now you have to run to the zone clear to the mob and wait for it to spawn to see if its camped.
Have fun spending 2 or 3 hours to find a camp. I know it already takes me about half an hour and 2 or 3 teleports to find something for me to kill during peak hours and I am a druid. | ||

just take the camps from the solo enchanters.. all their doing is farming anyway.
if they move from camps to camps then just take one of theirs! | ||

I completely agree with the OP. And I am 95% sure /w all zone was classic, at least in kunark era.

Groups should always take preference over farmers at being at a camp.
If you want to farm the whole of a zone, go run your own emulated server. | ||

I was not anon. I had in my /afk message that I was camping frenz and playing MW2 between spawns. Is that against the rules? I did not see any camp checks, though I may have left the zone momentarily or switched out to my alt or something. If I had come back and people had been at Frenz, I would have accepted that and moved on. Instead, I came back and went /afk because I wanted to kill some more people in MW2. When it was time, I returned to keys and killed the placeholders that spawned. I saw a camp check and before I could respond you called the camp I was at. I was quite annoyed, as I'm sure you would be, that someone called the camp I was at and had just cleared. No one else was around, no one messaged me, and as I said I didn't see a camp check until the one you responded to without being there. When people call a camp they're not at, it really annoys me. If you're waiting for group members to show up, you are not fucking camping anything. You are waiting. This is arguable if you're sitting at the spawn waiting for a replacement, but not when your group hasn't begun yet and you're waiting at a safe spot in the zone. For content that actually pertains to this thread: I actually posted this as a bug in the bug forum the day of the patch that it went in with a month or so ago. I was surprised no one but me had a problem with it, but apparently no one else realized it until now. I'm 99% certain /who all worked in classic, the way it did on this server, until that patch. Edit: here's a link to the post I made in the bug forum: http://www.project1999.org/forums/showthread.php?t=1492 | |||

AFK farmers on camp checks is just an annoyance that you gotta deal with. No one's gonna stay watching the game constantly when there are 28 minutes between spawns. No one is necessarily in the wrong, its just an annoyance you gotta deal with. If someone is farming multiple named like frenzy/lord, just send them a message that you would like to take one, and which one do they prefer to keep. Being polite saves 90% of arguments. If they say you can't have one, then you can break out the "sorry, I am taking one, so make your choice or I'm taking x."
It IS annoying though for people to claim spawns they haven't even arrived at. When I was farming frenzy a lot it seemed like half the time I called CC and someone would say frenzy is taken, but when I go check it out I see no one there and a full spawn. How bout saying "moving to xyz in 5 min if it is open" | ||
