There's no way for you to "luck" your way into getting it the way you can just zone into RM and find Hasten up, or wander into a named mob uncamped and get an item. There's an element of luck and RNG to almost every other camp in this game. It took me about 60 hours camping Pained Soul to get my VP key, that's likely longer than it will take any one person to get a Manastone, but I did it over the course of 3 (still excruciating) sessions and got some god damned sleep in between because it wasn't a perma-camped /list mob with a revolving door of yayhoos sharing accounts that were immune to the human body's need for sleep

edit: that's all not even to mention the fact that all those other items won't stop dropping in the game in a few months. The element of finality of the manastone dropping in the game and the rush to get one while you still can is also adding to the fervor, so again I absolutely think this camp is different than any other camp you can think of in the game and it's a perfect storm to hurt players
The only thing causing that is the /list system. Instead of calling for free manastones for everyone you should be calling for the removal of /list.

Also, do you have any proof that anyone who has looted a manastone has been up for 48 hours? I don't think it has even gotten to the 24 hour mark from what I've seen.
