I've talked to many, many people in chat talking about how they'll swing a loop around all the paths off and on.  I've read in forums how this is what they do.  I've also read a lot of misses from the spawn spot they were camping too.

But Ponderance, you can't be serious!  What if it is on it's way from Ulduar?  What if a corpse is somewhere?  What if it's on the Brunnhildar route just prancing around over and over never being attacked? What if dirt was really chocolate?  Do you know?  Have you actually ever picked up dirt and rubbed it on your tongue, disregarding the smell and checking to see if maybe it's baker's chocolate or something?  Have you?

Anyway.  Seriously though.  Seriously.  

Finding a corpse, yes, that's nice.  In wrath a tlpd or vyra corpse was a six hour nap.  That's true.  But you're not looking for corpses.  You're looking for a kill of your own.  And I'm sorry, but leaving your post multiple times a camp is only shitting in your own mouth.  And I don't know about you, but my shit smells pretty bad and I don't want it anywhere near my mouth.

Many times on various servers I've camped on over the last couple years I've heard and seen many many missed kills because they flew off to check the AH in dalaran.  Ran over to the ulduar camp to vendor some stuff and fly back.  Logged out quick to clear cache. Go check the Brunnhildar route quick and return to Frozen Lake. Pop into a dungeon, or battleground. Do a few quick arenas. Then boom, corpse right at the spawn spot they were camping the last five or ten days. 

I've said it a dozen times on various places and I'll say it again.  The only possible way to guarantee 25% chance on TLPD/Vyra, or a 1/6 chance on Aeonaxx is to pick a spawn spot, don't fucking move 'till you get it.  Yes, life is shit. Yes, you may have a ton of stuff to do IRL, but while you're camping just knuckle down and put your naughty parts away and be patient.  Leave the unknown, unknown.  Chasing the unknown will unlock what you could otherwise have locked down and drop your chances considerably.

Yes, it can work.  I understand it has worked.  Sitting over the engine of the makers, or some equally retarded spot, has worked.  Can work. And I understand if people are too antsy to just sit still and have to continually fly the paths, sure.  But my point is, the best bet for even just one toon is pick a spawn spot and don't move 'till you get it.  Period.  I'm sorry, but it's true.  It's sad how much I've spent time wise on this that I've tried a ton of things, experienced a hell of a lot.... and can say unequivocally, unflinchingly that there is no better way...

And regarding Camel, there are dozens of spawn spots.  Fucking dozens.  If you're sitting still to camp that, you're retarded.  TLPD, it moves.  There are only four.  There is a massive area to cover.  With 2 toons you can sort of cover all four routes (two spawn spots.)  Camel, in order to lock down Uldum you would literally need 18 toons based on last known spawn spots.  And fuck that. 

Regarding Poseidus, flying around sadly is a must as well as they are all stationary.  Aeonaxx, depending entirely on the people camping it, where they are, etc... I strongly support picking a spot that sees the most AEONAXX spawn spots, visually.  Not based on motherfucking Blood Seeker.  Yes, it's nice seeing that and taking a good six hour break.  But the only way to do that is say fuck it to seeing a third or fourth Aeonaxx spawn spot, at best.  But the argument for checking Aeonaxx spawn spots unseen, I can't really stand against.  It's not Storm Peaks, it's much smaller.  You can nicely check all six (known) spawns in under 50 seconds.  Unlike Storm Peaks where it's like fucking 15 minutes at max possible speed to decently do a proper check.
