Yes. And this is exactly what people who want /list to go away want. Do not for a second believe their motives are based on purity of classicness.

So Seal Team and Kingdom can lock down the camp until the items are removed? Great idea Skorge.

This. It’s such an easy fix, yet won’t be done because it’s “not classic”, when in fact there are PLENTY of non-classic things implemented.

don't let skorge fool you he hasn't played on this server in years he is one of those forum trolls that just want people that continue to play this server to suffer

lots of people like that around here...weird fucking guys man

Wow imagine being ready to kill the named spawn or PH when you're #1. So hard to look at the time and predict a static spawn? MEGA OOF!

Better than what it is now, tbh...at least then people like me could buy one. This is all under the assumption they would remove the nerfed drop rate of the manastone itself. If manastones were dropping with classic drop rates, even with a guild poop socking it, it would be a better outcome than the /list + nerfed drop rate combo.

Also, the /list removes a freedom from us - the reason why EQ was successful and all other mmorpgs have failed including EQ2. Having no list is in the spirit of EQ. We are now being forced to participate in something if we want to camp any of the legacy items.

In my eyes the /list function is a total fail. I don't care what anyone else thinks. That is my opinion on the matter. I don't care if guilds poop sock it. Now that's classic. I dealt with that in 99, I dealt with that in 09, I can deal with that now.

I have zero intention on poop socking any item myself but if people or guilds want to do that, then so be it. All I know is if player A has 30 manastones my chances of actually buyone one goes up 10 fold. Right now there are going to be very few manastones for sale, like ever here.

Wanted to add too that my odds of getting one with this /list are actually lower than without one. I can't poopsock an item for 70 hours straight and I don't want to share my account with anyone. If a guild was poop socking a camp at least there would be small gaps in between of getting a spot.

What is wierd is that you still waste your mental energies here even though you dont play.

Show us on the doll where the bad man touched you.

I know that they are now off the list, because there item dropped, and they are also probably locked out for a week like they had looted the item. But why is this allowed to happen? Why not implement a ready to loot check when the item drops, they have 1 min to click yes, otherwise the list moves on to the next person. Something to make sure a legacy item, from a potentially excruciatingly long camp doesnt just rot....

Why didn't somebody loot it and give it to him when he woke up?
