Camp Priority

Honest

Raybane during peak times theres no such thing as "less popular" areas, Dark elf maybe but that is an unfinished joke of an area.

Game is 30% complete as a rough estimate. People are treating the game as though its a finished project and are complaining because its not holding their hands. There are system reworks coming down the pipelines, probably more class reworking, as well as other tradeskills that aren't even in the game yet. There are probably systems on the design table they really want to implement but havent gotten that core game to where it needs to be to handle that. Servers meant to hold, maybe 2k people spread out over many level ranges are dealing with populations 2 or 3 times that with everyone in the starting areas. The sweat is gonna be rewarded early on.

I have a very similar experience but just for regular xp where groups of people tag many camps at a time or high level just train all camps and kit them / kill them for their enchanting/disenchanting for hours on end.

I see many people finding excuses to the game but excuses don´t drive success, they usually drive to failure in business.
edit: Keep in mind that we are paying, whatever the game status is, they also have a commercial responsability.

We need the dev to find solutions to drops / xp / camping asap full stop.

Clairical To them 1-50 people enjoying the content while everyone else has to wait around and compete is a feature not a problem. Im checking out AoA next playtest

Honest AoA will have the exact same issues at launch.

Waffle_Goblin Adrullan has already implemented several anti-camping measures, but camping still exists in the alpha. Here's what the devs have done so far:

Rotating loot tables — This is the big one. Players in the playtest specifically called this out as a strong solution: "no singular camp will yield a desired piece of loot," which directly addresses the "kill one camp for hours for a specific drop" problem.
Improved tagging system — Tagging is based on the amount of actions performed on a mob rather than just first-to-hit, and higher-level players need more hits to tag. This is explicitly designed to stop high-level solo players from stealing your group's camp.
Quest XP scaling — Quest XP drops off sharply above the intended level, and quests giving less than 0.1% XP give zero. This was a fix for people buying hundreds of low-level quest items to skip ahead.

Honest I have also been reading about instanced or layers in other discussion about a different game where players can generate their own "private instance" of a particular zone. I found this idea cool.
