I think the easiest way to solve this would be to put killing a cave "boss" on a timer. If you kill the boss, that boss would be unattackable by you for X amount of time. The time could vary depending on the respawn rate of the boss. Something like the ackley could be on a 24-48 hour timer. This way, after getting your shot at the boss, you could not attack them again until the timer ran down. If a group takes it down, the whole group would have the timer set on them. If you solo'd a boss and joined a group before your timer expired, it would still be unattackable by you, but the rest of your group could still attack it.
This would seem to me to be a lot easier to implement than instancing everything, and everyone would get a shot at dungeon bosses and their loot.

It's getting to the point where I know it's pointless going to a cave that drops good loot unless I'm grouped with a jedi knight or two, as thats the only way to get looting rights.
And thats not counting the poi's camped by one person AFK killing with an exceptional T21 + adk.

While I see what you're trying to get at here, I couldn't see a change like this being anything but frustrating. If you could only kill certain high-level bosses once a day, they would need to guarantee some kind of loot because the chances are higher for looting nothing the way the loot tables are now. The probability then would be what level the actual loot is at.
I agree completely, though, that campers are ruining a lot of fun for a lot of people - I personally can't compete with most of the campers out there and I'd be hard pressed to find a group of people willing to try and outdamage someone for a small chance at getting just one piece of loot.
Now, if there were some sort of 'instanced mission' terminal (similar to Mallichae or a Faction base) that would range from solo-able to 'better find some friends,' this would contribute more to the group atmosphere as well as provide new content and opportunities where people won't have to worry about kill stealing or camping.

/SIGNED!! Please fix this to where you have to fight your way back in to the caves and not be able to log off and log back in right inside the cave before the Acklay spawns!!

A friend of mine and I worked our way to the bottom of the geo cave and right as we walked in two Riflemen ran in claiming to have been there first. There was no way my friend and I could have outdamaged them
