Default Camp times? 12 hours? 24?

Can a group just sit there for as long as they please and take every mob? Claim to have a list but dont actually go in order, just by "needs" on blue mobs 6v1?

AFAIK there are no limits on camp times and you are not obligated to invite people based on how long they are waiting.

Yes.

Regarding lists, if your tank leaves, you aren't gonna take a second healer just because that person is next, etc.

I think what you are talking about is an xp group.

I was always under the impression on p99 that if you are xping in a group or solo nothing obligates you to add anyone you dont want in your group. Some people prefer to solo, duo, trio, or full group w.e.

And for time frames; there is no cut off time limit for someone to stop exping lol. If they are pulling stuff and keeping an area down its camped by that person/group.

If the people you are talking about was being power leveled or something I usually feel a way. It sucks when you are trying to get some xp but a group can pull 3/4 of a dungeon cuz they have a 60 druid sitting behind them. That drive me nuts. Server rules dont really align with that kind of behavior.

If it's like a camp where they are waiting for a spawn or something... like AC. If you show up and someone is sitting there you can request a list and the person is supposed to tell you then and there who is the next person in line. If they dont answer you I think you would just say okay then I'm next. Usually I'd hang out or something to make sure no one else shows up. /shrug all I got. Hope it was helpful lol

If the group/person is camping a LORE item they have to give up the camp after they acquire it. Otherwise, yes a single group/person can stay at a single camp indefinitely.

I think many players here would love to see a limit enforced, but I think the problem is that implementing one is tricky. For instance, what if a group changes out one member: is it considered a "new" group? What if it changes half its members? What if several people rotate a camp, passing it off to each other, so no one player ever has it for very long?

Without a good, simple, and easy to enforce rule, we're stuck with the system we have.

Correct. Technically it was always that way: when you die or zone you give up any camp, and you have to die to corpse the LORE item. However, people used to exploit others' ignorance to keep camping LORE items repeatedly, and now (from what I understand at least; I haven't actually tried doing it myself) the staff cracks down on that.

A) I said "many", and B) I honestly don't think most people on this server like the idea of a handful of people "locking" a camp down and monopolizing it for themselves for weeks at a time (something which absolutely has happened in the past with certain popular camps).
