Can you lose camp going to sell?

It is his camp if you are strictly following the rules, as he arrived to an unoccupied camp with mobs up. However, in my experience, most people will concede back the camp (and I do for others) if you politely explain the situation to them and ask nicely for it back. If you did that and he still went all lawyerquest on you then he is a dick imo, even though he isn't technically breaking any rules.

If the server had more players like this it would be great. I've always been the same, and have encountered like minded people who are nice about it.

If following the rules as they are makes someone a dick maybe the rules arent great?

How else could the rules work? It would be hard to prove to the other person that you were just there while in-game (particularly if there's a full respawn), and aren't just trying to take advantage of them. I've had people log in after I'd been in the camp for an hour and tell me they had "just gone to sell" or "pc crashed", etc. There are shitty people on both sides of this equation, although it admittedly happens far less often in the scenario I described than the one for OP.

Unless we have a bunch of extra Sirken's to chill out at all of the camps 24/7, this is the best middle ground. The problem is the people, not the rules.

Honestly I've always viewed building encumbrance and the need to free up inventory by selling as a natural way to make sure camps get handed off from player to player after some time spent there.

I agree. That's how I've always played it. I've casually given up spots by having to free up inventory, and if I came back and the camp was taken while I was gone, I'd move on as I should.

Best way to avoid this - hire runner to sell for you, pay them a percentage.

If not, you take your chances with someone doing exactly what happened, as it is well within the rules, even if dickish according to the unwritten rules of politeness.

Is it really dickish though, it sounds super entitled to get upset when someone takes the most popular camp in a zone when you casually stroll over to a vendor in order to sell off all the loot you filled up your bag slots with

It's dickish because if you roll up on a cleared camp, you know somebody is camping it and you know politeness says give 'em 5-10 minutes before settling in. If you choose to take the camp and then claim "but rules!" then that's being dickish. It's not illegal to be dickish, it won't get you banned or anything, but it is dickish.

imho, ymmv.

The staff have been so wish-washy about this title topic.

In the past they've said you can leave to sell/zone if you're able to return before the mob spawns and keep it down without delay.

Then I just heard braknar and sirken talking on sirken's latest stream about outdoor spawns and they said you can only really camp 1 outdoor spawn. If you leave it you're no longer camping it.


so idk, just don't be a jerk. Play Nice!
