List System Proposed Changes

[Veeshan31]

DO people actually stay up for 50 hours camping manastone? This server really does attract mentally ill people.

People are probably sharing accounts.

Someone was in list for jboots for 25 hours today and finally got them.

The person before me was also there for about 25 hours, but I am not sure what position they were in when they joined.

I would be happy for some sort of modification to the /list mechanic. I haven't done an all-nighter like that in almost 20 years. An opportunity to have slept for just 1 full REM cycle would have been glorious.

Around 3AM I ended up setting a timer for 10 mins and I caught a dozen or two "microsleeps" between AFK checks until 8AM when I finally got a second wind. It wasn't much of one though, so I was very thankful to get a drop after only being #1 for a couple spawns.

Agree with you 100%

Just give everyone a manastone and mask via a command in game once you hit the level mark. Stop the insanity, save lives.

[ScottBerta]

Crazy that people have the sort of time to sock this shit. I mean with the system in place no casual can get these items. However, for the die hards, if your willing to invest the time you will for sure get your item. I have no way to fix the system but it seems that if people are really this invested in game ... may be worth wasting a weekend or taking a couple sick days from work to ensure u get a manastone and then never worry about it again. But once u commit to camping it, make sure you have the stamina to see it through. For me, that’s not a possibility nor a sacrifice im willing to make for a legacy item or two. If you are, consider taking the plunge, head first, and be done with it.

The only fix I'd like to see is an ip check. If you go LD and log back in with a different ip it should kick you from the list.

[Widan]

IP check doesn't matter cause people are using team viewer or whatever remote desktop software. People are also playing their own character on green and then remoting into a char at one of these camps, i.e. 2 boxing, which is against the rules, but good luck trying to figure out who's who.

Wouldn't surprise me if this is common

While I'm sure you are right and people using remote desktop software, there are just as many that are just forcing ld and having a friend log in. Why not at least prevent those? The whole "we cant stop all of it, so we wont stop any of it" mentality would be like cops saying "we cant catch all the bad drivers and speeders, so were no longer enforcing any moving violations". Its just silly logic.
In this instance, any amount is better than none.
