Camp Etiquette

[cd288]

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.

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.

Of course no one is obligated to. My question wasn't whether they are obligated to. My question was do people not find this to be a rude thing to do at a very popular camp?

I'll try again. I'll even include your own question(s) this time:

Yes, it is acceptable. Nobody is obligated to group with you. Sure, it's rude if they're assholes about it, but you aren't entitled to a spot in a group just because you show up.

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?

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

I find your entitlement to a camp that was occupied before you arrived to be rude, as well as the negative connotation you place on people who simply arrived before you.
