Camping Important Locations

Topic :   Camping Important Locations

Lately there have been people "camping" at the Mirror Shield Quest Monster spawn Location. They will sit at the spawn and wait for it to come up and, for as long as they are "camping", create a monopoly around that quest item. The more valuable quest items seem to be camped, but since most of them are in Fel it causes people to just "check" for it rather than sit and watch TV/wait for it to come up and kill it the second it does. It would be nice to see the Mirror Shield quest mob spawn moved to Felucca, similar to the Magi Dragon. It would boost the economic value around that item also since it is a (small amount) more difficult to acquire. Additionally, more people would have access to the item since those camping it would be forced to either 1) be on guard while doing so, and others could contest the location, or 2) check in and out in order to avoid a confrontation.


Although I enjoy PvP, I am not stating this strictly to increase PvP in Felucca. I like how many of the valuable items are in Felucca (Such as: Powerscrolls, Valuable Quest Items, etc) and it results in those items being more fun to acquire and more dangerous while acquiring it. I would hope that some would agree with the statement that the economy and players benefit from rares such as powerscrolls being in Fel rather than trammel. I think it would be a boring grind quickly (and competitive without room for contesting - Like the mirror shield spawn) if powerscrolls dropped in trammel.

Just checked - People are actually AFK camping the Mirror Shield Spawn now. You can hear their [grab macro running when you stand near, they don't respond, and auto attack the Quest Monster when it spawns. Please to move to Fel :)

As much as I agree that spawn camping quest mobs is out of hand currently, moving spawns to Fel just encourages another type of camping. 
Instead of people camping for the quest items to fuel to economy, all that moving the mobs to Fel will do is make PvPers camp the spawns for their own gains.

1) you need to drop all items to the quest giver, not only last one
2) stronger mobs near
3) move to fell ..

Funny how pvp'er will complain about every little thing!
No need to move the spawn or even change how the quest works, all you need to do is track the player and report him, its agains't the rules and a gm will take care of it.
Your solution revolves around pvp, see a player camping, kill him. Dont sell it being for better economy, basicaly, you are asking for the right to kill campers which is not a solution in itself, its just a way for you guys to get more kills, period!

just make it a no hide zone and add some difficult minions in the area. raise the spawn rate of the quest mob and lower the drop rate of the mirror shield.

I agree. Moving important key item drops to Felucca would help out the economy and increase more of a challenge to acquire these items. It would also reduce the afk camping of these items.

The only issue with moving all of this stuff to Fel is the people who do not wish to participate in PvP.
At the moment there is a choice, Tram or Fel. If all quest items are moved to Fel then the only choice not to participate in PvP will be to miss out on these quests.

I know plenty of people who don't participate in PvP and still get their share of the Magi Dragon and Champ Spawns.

Yes I will look into this issue and create some defensive mobs and spawn in a larger area so you have to actively search for it

There are no stealabes mentioned in this thread. Perhaps post your question as its own thread so more people will see the question. But to answer I thinks googling uo stealables would be workable.
