That is awful but that’s the way it goes I guess. Imagine how shitty the guy must feel who was afk when his item finally dropped.

This is why I hate the /list. It literally removes what made EQ so fun in 1999. This would have never happened on real classic. Grrrrrr. Not the guy's fault who went afk it's the /list's fault. Remove /list and the game will be restored. It's not too late!

As a level 17 who'll never camp any legacy items I have no dog in the fight either way, but if this was the case wouldn't the top guild simply lock up the camp until the items stopped dropping? Not sure that's fun for everyone else.

Yes if there was no list a few more hardcore players have said they would lock that sh** down so hard that you would have to buy from them if you want X item.

Even with non list camp's I've already found groups of 2-3 players who are working in rotation holding down the spots for a good 12-14 hrs per day.

Yeah. This is so common. Make all legacy items no drop. Fix this in a heartbeat. #notclassic but it's for the betterment of p99 civilization.

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.

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.
