I'll simplify it for you: on blue, it took a night of playing EQ and checking in on the AC every now and then to get the camp, usually on off hours but not always. On green, you add yourself to a list of over 100 people who either aren't playing EQ at the moment or just added themselves for the hell of it because they don't have to put in any effort at all for an automatic 6,000 plat MQ oppo, in turn forcing everyone who actually needs boots have to wait days or weeks because auto-pilot farmers feel entitled to make their next withdrawal....
BTW: It's been over 50 hours since I was re-added to the list after the incident of the original post and I've moved up less than 40 spots. There are still over 60 "people" ahead of me. It couldn't *possibly* be this long and slow because some of the same people are adding multiple alts to this list... right? ........
....Right?

Again... your problem seems to be that people can do other things while being on the list, and that makes the list 100+ an then you have to wait ~5 days (that's how long it took me to go from 120 to 1) to actually have a shot at your boots.
Ok, but you yourself realize that large chunks of the list can be skipped. You can - potentially - take only a couple days, or even (in your case in the OP) just show up and have the spawn uncontested if no one else is on.
It's luck of the draw... just like if there were no offline list.
BTW, the reason the list barely moved was because the AC took 11 hours to spawn yesterday. If that happens when you are on, you aren't getting that camp for several days sans list either... and yes, it was one person sitting there the entire time.
