Quarm emu server has some pretty innovative ideas for how to deal with poop socking and item camping- including items that can only be looted once per 30 days per account not per character. Other stuff too.
I was pretty skeptical of some of the Quarm features before I played because I've always been very anti-instancing (and related concepts). But once I actually played I discovered that the ideas had been implemented very effectively.
All this just to say I think there are a few elegant/non-intrusive ways to solve some of these problems with creative programming these days. Not sure the devs will be interested in trying the ideas- just saying they exist and work pretty well.

Cool.
So ban them, from Orbit (to be sure).
But the real answer is just don’t make the loot OP. In Shards of Dalaya (with a few outlier exceptions) it was mostly loot that was good for the level but you’d just replace it later if you kept on leveling.

It worked when the population was there, trying to do adepts now is aids.

on Shards of Dalaya (the almost abandoned old one), people made alt clusters for each of the level locked bosses, then /locked the account (where you couldn't trade their items or accept new items or whatever else). and parked them at each of the level locked names (adepts).
They then twinked them with literally the best t wink gear they could possibly make. for the early, like sub 40ish i think.....ONE of these alts could solo the thing. so because it's a box server. you could play one of those alts, and your character. do that with the alt every X hours (respawn time) till you get youre item then move to the next.
The new Dalaya, i'm not sure about, but they did remove the irreplaceable items from the adepts. so it's just a choice to do it or not. i basically never did it because it was real obnoxious waiting on the respawn, then trying to get in when some guy could just log the nuclear alts in and just kill it immediately.
i think literally the exact same thing will happen on the box servers. people will make turbo twinks and leave them there. i doubt they'll share the account info for them tho because it's an actual sub and not a free infinite account emulator.

What’s hilarious is even in the alpha some tryhards have locked down the lvl 20 gated boss. Even tho all this is going away anyway in a few months. And it does have some really good loot, esp for that level.
But there are far better drops at the endgame that outclass those mobs drops - and a lot more to come - so while it’s a good boost while leveling, you’re probably better off just advancing your char to do the big boy stuff later rather than worry about some level 20 mob that some weirdos have locked down.
