Why?

[Sadre Spinegnawer]

yes, why?

let me edit: why would you think you could claim an open-ended camp? Let's say two people show up at same time for a camp. I am guessing, the civil thing to do would be /random. Winner gets the camp, and would you now say the loser cannot be next on the list?

It's just silly. Whoever shows up, gets put on the list. If the camp holder has no one on the list at that time, newcomer is next. Worst that happens is that guildmate X logs in 10 minutes later, and is then put third on the list.

It sounds like you don't actually need anyone in mind, you can start the camp. If someone says "Is anyone else next?" and you don't have anyone in mind, the person that just asked you that is next in line.

Cause that's how lines work and stuff.

You can always ask in guild if anyone wants it, if no one responds, give it to that guy--if someone wants it later, tell them who you gave it to so they can ask to be next.

The annoyance over this seems to be way more about being a neckbeard than anything else. Like, "Gawh why can't I just rig it so no one can get this loot but my guild brawrhghghgh" -- The first person to ask you if they can be next in line when you don't have anyone in mind gets it..

Why dont you go take the camp then. He got his crown and is keeping lore crowns on corpses. Just go take it and link him the this thread where a GM just said he can't do that.

Problem is, and you can see someone else in this thread saying it: some people tend to be all ignorant towards "strangers who ask to be listed" and ignores them completely.

Seriously - what the fuck became of deceny, courtesy and all in all treating others with respect? It has all become a "me-me-me-not-you" mentality. And I am sick of it...

So I have to have someone in mind to pass off camp to immediately after I begin camping? I'm not a big fan of lists. I usually ignore people asking about them, because i camp till I'm done and when I'm done I generally ask guild if they would like to take before I give it to a random. Doing it wrong huh?

No you do not. But if someones comes up and asks to be listed, it is COMMON COURTESY to list them, and informing them when you break camp. That is at least how we did it "back in the REAL '99 days". Yes everyone camps "'till they are done" - but nothing is wrong with showing a bit of courtesy.

Oh be quiet. The only thing I camp, ever, is VP key pieces for, yes, my alts and I don't think I'm ever doing that again. What exactly makes your non-guildie main more important than my alt though?

And what exactly makes your alt more important than their main? Respect goes both ways man. Stop trying to be so "tough-l337" - that is so last year...you aren't fooling anyone. Just be decent ok?

Again - you don't. If a stranger asks you if you are camping something and you are, all the GM's are asking for is, that if you do not have someone in the line for taking over the camp from you, then the guy asking for it, should be listed.

But seeing that you are ignoring strangers asking to be listed, my guess is that it is a wasted effort on you...

Too bad...

I think anyone's main is more important than anyone's alt. Regardless, if the guy is sitting there waiting, you can at least tell him to shove off that they have a line already. If you camp out before your guildy gets there, tough luck.

what's a main? someone's lone '92 sentra isn't more important than my third level 60 pixel ferrari just because i already own two.
