Raid guilds allow you to basically AFK / camp this item during raids.

+Enji, scepter

^^^ for every raid log

Full DKP payout for doing literally nothing.

Idols make things happen until they don't. Certainly a balance of needing that extra body at a raid vs having a zerg that it won't matter and it's useful to have someone continuing to farm idols and holding the camp down - someone has to do that dumb job. That's EQ at the raid level. I see it both ways. It pays because it's so boring - wouldn't you want to "play" the game instead? It should pay double! ha

Our guild definitely does the idol camp and awards DKP you are correct, I did not know they qualified for all the raids going on while doing idol/scepter camp, that's a interesting factor... Now I understand why we got people doing that all day, because I thought they were just getting the DKP for what we give when doing that camp(which is not much).. Technically they are making even more DKP then the active raiders, quite funny! That being said, I might need to get on that horse since I WFH and that's an ideal way to earn DKP and help the guild whereas I cannot actively raid during work. I think it makes sense that guilds like having someone on it 24/7 though because the second someone logs off that camp, another guild can snatch it up for however long straight, so it makes sense they reward people to keep it locked down as a poopsock advantage.

Clearly the active raiders should be paid the idol camp dkp if an idol camp happens while they are raiding.

Holding idol camp not only supplies your guild with an edge tool but denies the competition.

I've seen some sketchy ass videos of trying to farm the seahorse belt but theres a non 0% chance you will die every attempt and i dont think I have enough buffer into 60. Given the value of the belt I am tempted to try though.

I don't think anyone would argue with that, but no one wants to manage that.
