My issue with Pyros (and Pagos to a slight extent)

Low levels shouldn't be camping at icepoint if they want to get northern NM's. At the least if they are going to camp they should be at or around Igloo given it puts them north and well within reach of both East and West NM's when they spawn. That camp spot is good when you have a return handy for low level spawns. If you have no return I would recommend camping the small elevated area just above the Northern bunny fate given there is a shortcut drop down to low level areas there.

People are just not going to wait for low levels to run up North for fate pops.

Exactly. Even when I was one of those low levels, I tried to figure out where people were headed and got there asap. It's all about position and timing...until an NM spawns all the way across the map from you, but that's a whole other thing.
