I don't think account sharing has ever been prohibited on P99, and don't particularly see a problem with it for the same duo opportunities lost when focusing on a manastone. The value of which is enough for you to assume there is no lost opportunity cost from such a setup, or that everyone that is doing as much is boxing or doing the equivalent of by helping a friend. I'm just not seeing the math work out on this complaint unless I presume a greater degree of "cheating" is going on.
From a human perspective I could see a /list cut off after 9 with a second list designed to randomly "reward" those on it a chance at joining a potentially 40 hour long camp. Which would be a cutoff those that design it probably wouldn't want to touch as they become like a blind bartender who is expected to keep track of who should be cut off for their "own" good - but more so for the bar owner and bar tenders potentially on the hook. We had a guy get the stone who said he felt it was bad for his health to stay up for over 30 hours, and I think leaving it up to players to keep at it - or not kill themselves - is probably the better stance.
But like some poster said above about grown adults doing 20 hour camps, they're grown adults. No one has to camp a manastone, those that do just want whats at the end of the rainbow.

It's really not a hard concept to understand, account sharing isn't against the rules but it's a dumb thing to do, characters get stripped by "friends" all the time.
When account sharing is an option at a camp like this it skews the difficulty of the camp, if there was no account sharing and everyone had to grind out their wait time the camp is fair, but when you add in account sharing, players who choose not to account share are at a severe disadvantage. Not only do account sharers have to spend less time individually at the camp, but they are able to cover a larger amount of time spent on the list. Two players who alternate 12 hour shifts can basically maintain a position on the list indefinitely, while a single player has an expiration date on the amount of time they can spend.
If Devs are fine with players account sharing to get manastones that's their choice I guess, but it doesn't seem to fit with the goal of the list system, and punishes players who make smart choices by not sharing account info with others.
