In fact the claims are unconvincing for a simple reason. In all time since these allegations have come up, I have been patrolling the realms for a couple of reasons, boss spotting not among them anymore(I explained why). Inevitably I came and come across a lot of spots (in fact, most of them on surface and a couple of them in PR) where bosses may spawn, among them not too few of the "important" ones.

Now, when assuming that bosses are spotted by swarms of campers all time, I would have necessarily stumbled over at least a couple of them. In fact, I did not meet any. Instead, I even stumbled about a couple of bosses.

The conclusion is simple and evident: When campers are not there, they cannot spot bosses. In other words: there have not been any campers at many of the usual boss spots (and I am speaking of 250 and 200 regions) for long periods.

Maybe there is some camper somewhere, here and then. But it is simply not the case that swarms of alts, especially makeshift f2p alts, are holding boss spots under close surveillance. These campers are widely a myth.

And nobody so far has provided evidence for such widespread camping. In fact two players have admitted to have camped tree sites with their main and/or subbed alt character. Not that I consider that a particularly good idea, but indeed, I know about not too few players from other guilds who spotted and killed trees, though, and even got some of the most wanted (only once dropping) objects. So even the complaint that by such practices others were effectively denied access to that resource does not hold much water. Anyway, there is nearly a year to rethink tree locations and spawn times, now.

Again, I would like to see the hysteria, suspicion, and blame game to cool down.
