The player-moderated Ancient Cyclops list is a disaster.

[TheSurgeon]

Fuck a /list mechanic, I would just bring The Hand of God down and perma-lockout the ring to one per character.

The AC has been such a shit show for years. It is clear to any sane person the easiest way to go about getting Jboots is to farm the plat instead. Which makes you wonder, if it's easier to farm the plat, then why farm the AC for a MQ? All of the MQs can't be just from SRo luck. Some elf shenanigans are going on somewheres abouts that make farming this hell hole profitable for a select number of people.

I don't want to say there is a Cyclops Mafia within the ranks of elf nerds, but there probably is.

Every other valuable spawn in this game gets monopolized by the same few people, why would you imagine this one to be any different? This garbage list system just gives them a "sanctioned" way of doing so.

DING DING DING - We HAVE a winner folks. Once you have a situation where farming the plat becomes less time-consuming than the actual camp for EVERYONE (not just the ez-farm pet classes), it's obvious that the mechanism creating this log-jam is benefiting a select few... which is why out of the HUNDREDS of people who populate this list every day, there's not even a handful of people on this 9 page thread defending it.
