Everyone respects who's next (and those after them) therefore everyone respects the list.

I feel like I am pretty good at honoring the list.

When someone who is on the list logs off.. I don't consider them off the list until I get my spawn and it would have been their turn. Then if they are not online I pass it to whoever was behind him. I am constantly announcing the list in /say and tells just to remind myself of the list lol

I think most people do the same.. I think anyone who walks away from a camp after being put on a 'list' is generally pleasantly and totally surprised, halfway across norrath chasing butterflies when someone sends them a tell to say that they are done at a camp...

Honestly this system gets used at the AC in OOT all the time, you join the back of the queue and wait sometimes a very long time...but its a working system.

It's player led... holy shit, players are actually trusting each other with a working system and not being scumbags with it.

Shut it down, quick!

I always lie about the list and just invite who I like most, my friends or a guildy. I will always skip people from guilds like BDA and tell them "yeah we got a spot soon just wait 20mins". Keep em on standby for an hour or two before they log off

So you admit to breaking server rules and misleading people. You need a timeout.

I like keeping a list when I'm group leader and I want to play for a while. You never know who might have to leave the group suddenly.

Normally if I am an exp pt group leader, I would honor the list to a degree. If the group is 5/6 and we need a healer, I would invite the first healer on the list over a DD because it would fit the needs of survival for the group.

Usually I run 3 lists for a group. DPS list. Heal list. CC list. Win

From a CS perspective on camps the OP is correct, but the players often elect to honor lists. I do and I think most others who are not asshats do as well so long as the others on the lists are also not asshats ^^

Lists are a very real thing, but whether or not group leads keep one for themselves is a completely different story...

I lead a lot of groups when I'm exping and do actually keep a list on my desk. It's a sticky note wherein I just write the names, classes, and levels of people who've been PMing me for an invite. Problem is, usually by the time a spot opens 3/4 of the people on that list are either offline or afk.

Lists are more of a courtesy thing if anything. Don't ask a group to put you on the list and then expect them to uphold it for more than 30 minutes. Chances are they're not even keeping a real list and they've already forgotten your name anyway.

If a group needs a replacement healer, the next melee on the list is not going to get that spot even if he's been there for several hours. That's just common sense.
