Default Camp Etiquette

Can we talk camp etiquette here? Curious to see what peoples' opinions are on this. Both myself and other players over the past week have seen multiple instances of a duo or trio camping a quite popular lower level camp and refusing to either let others join their group or otherwise split the camp. For example, camps in Blackburrow, or the Karana bandits, or EC/WC Orcs.

Now, I know technically per the rules they have to be willing to split the camp. But my question is more about refusing to let people join the group, even if it's non-hybrid classes. What do you guys think about that? Is that acceptable? When I've asked people refusing to let other people join their group they seem like they legitimately don't think it's rude or greedy.

So you don't see an issue with holding down an extremely popular leveling camp with like a duo and refusing to let anyone else in?

Maybe you can offer them platinum next time to offset the lower experience they will get by grouping with you.

Nope, I don't. Even at server release, with people camping spawn points in newbie yards, there were still places to level. The population has thinned out and dispersed through the levels; there's tons of places for you to go gain XP. You're not entitled to a group, and you're not entitled to a particular camp.

Hell, West Karana has like six big bandit camps, and six smaller ones. North Karana and East Karana each have a big camp, and Lake Rathe has two. If all you want is bandits and bandit loot, brother, they're all over the place.

Fair point. Although with respect to bandit camps specifically the Karana ones have all been consistently camped. A decent amount of the time it seems to be duos and trios although I did see a full group once or twice, but seems to be the minority.

but zems make fighting over the scraps in guk and unrest better than getting whole camps to yourself in all the other zones

Nobody is obligated to group with you.

6 man groups are terrible experience on a crowded server because you just don't have enough mobs to kill. 1-3 people seems ideal for most 'camps' on here until things thin out more.
