The camping is a problem already in the beta and sometime even when there is no other groups competing for the monster spawns. You see some of the quest require that each player collect so many of a certain item from the monsters (say 6 Gnoll Paws). Since the paws are not on every monster that spawns and a party of 5 would need 30 paws to drop before everyone has theirs, it can take quite a bit of camping to finish a quest like this.
This type of situation does have one bright spot in how these items are handled on the drops. Once a player has reached his quota, the item will no longer appear for that player during looting and another player that still needs one can see the sparkly graphic that there is something to loot and go and get the one that dropped on that kill after the first player is done looting.
