Sharing accounts isn't against the rules iirc. The staff have simply said that it's an at your own risk activity.

Limiting afk checks to the top 3 defeats almost the entire purpose of the afk check.... which is to make sure you arent afk camping one of the most coveted and sought after items in the game..... if they wanted people afk for half the camp and to only be present for the "end part", they would not of made these rules. Because, and I know this might be a surprise, but I'm sure they thought about this for more than five minutes and explored some alternate options, and settled on this.

Also, a big no to the whole getting on the list and then being able to leave the zone..... just, no....

I'm sorry, but if you want the super rare and awesome pixels, you have to put in your time, period.

People already do waitlist for camps and you are allowed to leave until it's your turn. This is no different except the order is actually enforced.

The whole "people already do their own waitlists" thing is the ENTIRE reason this list system is here. Those waitlists didnt work, were not enforceable, and subject to change by whoever held the list. Way to often someone would show up at a camp, and never get it because the current holder just rotated their friends through. Claiming they were on the "list"

You still haven't given a valid reason why letting people on list leave zone should not be allowed. Top people on list are subject to afk checks and will get booted if item drops or a failed afk check. Guilds flooding the list will need to maintain top 3 afk check and deal with people killing mobs for the drops to advance the list to non guilds.

This is a waitlist that IS enforceable through /list.

Because that defeats the purpose of the camp, if there is a line, you wait in it. You dont show up, say cool, I'm 4th in line, then go to lunch and come back and step into line in the 4th spot, that's just not how it works. And that's not how it should work here. It also would eliminate the risk of dieing and losing your place on the list for what could be, the majority of your time on the list. If you are in camp, and die, and cant get back in time, you lose your spot. If I can get on list, bind at camp, then go sit in the bank in Freeport till I'm number 3, then gate back to camp. I have circumvented the major part of the risk in camping said item. By spending however large a percentage of the time needed to get the item in absolute and complete safety.

There are reasons.
