Fine.

Example:

NM X is camped because it gives the best gear

NM Y is introduced and drops better gear.

NM Y is much harder than NM X and is now camped and no one cares who gets anything from NM X because it's now not the best.

Better? The argument still works. You can make content difficult AND drops rare without a 21-24 spawn window. Hell look at a game like Monster Hunter, you can kill the same monster 24/7 and not get the drop you need for 100+ runs if ever. The encounters are difficult but rewarding, with the drop rates set very low so items are still rare.
