open poll for server's feelings on camping

I see just one reason why camping is not punished anymore, no less than, under certain circumstances, even more ruthless practices such as agro dragging or mektoub killing. The reason is that the CSR don't want to be inflicted in accusations and denials, deciding whether a complaint can be considered proven or not, or whether it is just hostility and slander. Such complaints are possibly the most boring and frustrating stuff a CSR has to deal with. I do not think that many do like camping.

Yet it is virtually impossible to easily say whether a given player is camping a boss spot. Many of these spots are resting points adjacent to high agro regions. They are not seldom the right place to log out or go afk. Therefore an idler is not necessarily a camper.

Personally I am not convinced at all that there is a major boss camping problem at the moment. During my patrols over all of the bark I rarely see idle players at known boss spawns, and those I spot may as well have taken a rest for a while. Moreover, I have sighted bosses lately, even "important" ones (e.g. those of significance for PvP jewels, Eroukan and q250 parry 2 HA).

And I still think that well organized patrolling of boss spawns is ways more efficient than screening tens of boss spawns by a camper per spawn. Such activity had to be coordinated with a large number of players. I simply fail to see that such is going on right now.
