I agree that adding some random component to those on the list is the best solution I've seen. I like weighting the roll to those who have been there longest though. More time put in = better chance you win, and everyone on the list is incentivized to help keep it clear.
I like this

Can't change it now. Would be unfair to everyone who's camped the past 2 months. /thread

I don't understand the mentality of "if you're #1 on the /list, BYOG to kill the mob for you" if you're on the /list in #2, 3, etc positions YOU'RE IN HIS GROUP... #1 shouldn't have to call their guildies and friends to come help clear the camp because if this was the classic way that #1 guy's friends and guildies would just own that camp until they all owned the item or abandoned the camp, so you're being #2 on the list would mean jack shit

By signing up in #2, 3, etc position you're basically signing up to participate in the camp, in which case, help clear the mobs and move the camp along and stop being such a toxic neckbeard that thinks you're aren't entitled to a drop if you aren't a level 50 solo class

I understand it sucks if you have a guy in #1 that is AFK/hide/FD and refusing to even help kill the PH until his item dropped. That's toxic and that guy should be smitten by Llandris... But all you people in the #2+ spot refusing to help the number 1 guy just because he's only lvl 35 and can't solo the camp are the actual worst

Agreed, I'll help people ahead of me as long as they're participating in the clear.

it boggles my mind people sign up for a 'camp' then dont actually take part in the camp they have signed up for, it doesn't make sense [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

If you can’t solo the camp you should be lvl 50 not 35

Do lvl 35's reduce the drop rate? I have seen two 50's get drop back to back. But when a low level is number one on list drops seem less frequent.
