Etiquette when 'claiming' a camp during a CC

[Triiz]

One of the few things that irritates me in this game is when you do a CC, wait like 5 minutes, no one responds, then you move to the camp and sure enough someone is camping it. Makes no sense to me, because it only benefits the person holding the camp by keeping people out of their camp.

On the flip side of that coin, zoned into HS recently and do a CC, a cleric sitting by himself at entrance obviously waiting on someone responds "South" I was like lol.

Just don't ever call CC it is for noobs. Go see if it is camped instead.

Some camps aren't as easy as strolling up and seeing if someone is there, who wants to waste time breaking into a camp only to find someone is already camping it.

When you're camping something you usually know that (say) "the next PH/Named will be in 22 minutes". That means you don't have to watch your chat window religiously for that 22 minutes: you can go AFK, or maybe stay at the keyboard but ignore chat. Just because someone doesn't notice a CC doesn't mean they're deliberately trying to make people waste time.

CCs are a courtesy, and I believe the staff has confirmed as much (eg. not responding to a CC does not mean you lose your camp). We should all be courteous, and respond to CCs when we can, but everyone should also understand that they are only a courtesy.

I'm referring to active xp camps i.e. HS west where you can't exactly stroll in with no effort/lulls/ivu, and people sure as hell aren't AFKing for 20 minutes.


For something like Droga or something I don't expect people to answer CC's since most people play for 1 min and afk for 28.

Yeah responding to CC's is a courtesy, doesn't change the fact it's irritating when people are actively playing and don't respond.
