I've seen some snips of tells indicating they are in favor of you camping the mob for the person who can't kill it though. "Good job" / "thanks for doing that" instead of I just gave that clown a week in the tank. Farming someone else an item who isn't doing anything except looting it when you kill every PH and the mob for them for 15+ hours is no bueno.

1. If you don't engage/kill within 10 minutes of the PH/Mob spawning you are dropped from the list.
2. If you tell the group "I have to restart brb" and login to the account with a different IP address, you get dropped from the list.
3. The AFK checks is mostly fine except in the case of you are actively killing the PH and you have to type in an AFK code so you can hit the AFK button and timing everything so the PH don't kill you.

These things help level the playing field and improve my personal health thnx.

Time constraints just mean u must solo the camp cause itll incentivize people to not help cause time is ticking.

Lists were not set up to require solo ing (hello under powered melee)

Time limits make this more toxic, that is not the fix you are looking for.

I cringe every time someone suggests this. It doesn't require tremendous critical thinking to see exploits so easily.

I like this. I would add that participating in the PH kill would increase the "time at camp" value to help encourage cooperation.

A dozen or so great ideas on how to improve /list have been suggested since launch but im afraid they will barely be listened to and certainly not implemented :(

Posting in a not-classic thread

This change request makes no sense. Why should any lister have lower requirements than any other?

Saw some maniac in the tunnel with two manastones equipped.. made me sick and I've never even /listed for a legacy item, only read the horror stories.

I knew right away what sort of person I was looking at.

I doubt change of IP would work. Log into the same VPN server. I just logged in multiple times and got same IP. So that's out. Allowing a character 1 loot might be a good idea, but ofc, they are working together and can get xNecromageX to level faster than the timer in place. So...

The best way seems to make friends. Almost always the answer in this game.

I know, I know, friends have to share.
