The devs aren’t condoning anything. Just because you’re dumb enough to threaten your own health and stay up 50+ hours in a row for an item on an emulated server of a 20 year old game when that item is barely useful once Kunark hits, doesn’t mean the deva condone your idiocy.
It would be stupid of me to drink a fifth of liquor when I have work the next day but I don’t blame the distillery when I’m hungover because I chose to be an idiot

Kind of flawed logic here, they aren't actively encouraging people to display this behavior, but by having the current system they are in a way condoning it.
By allowing players who log off or go LD 15 minutes to return, it opens the door for people to account share, by allowing account sharing it means that people who would normally log out and leave the list after 16 or 24 hours, will just have someone log on their account and they never leave the list. So now people will rarely leave the list, they will just account share which will increase the overall amount of time spent listing for everyone. So if you don't want to account share, which is something P99 staff has recommended you don't do in the past, the current system is basically telling you to either risk your health or get fucked.
It's easy to say people shouldn't stay awake for 48+ hours at a time sitting at Manastone camp, it's obvious that we should say that, and there is nothing wrong with saying that, but it's also important that we acknowledge there are some serious problems with the current system.
