After a few years they took most all those NMs like Argus/Lord of Onzozo/Valk Emperor/Lizzy/etc with major gear drops and changed the loot table. The high-value gear on all of them was changed to a rare/ex variant you couldn't trade(Peacock Charm -> Peacock Amulet, for example). They were still camped, but not nearly as hard and only by people who wanted the item for their own use. The old normal versions of the items were all moved to BCNM prizes.
