Default A good modification to/list

Make it weighted. So ppl on the list longer and participating in kills have a higher chance at loot. Still allow ppl on the bottom of the list to get loot. Let the variance be like 20%.

People on the list longer already do have a higher chance at loot that's how it works by definition. As for having it weighted in favor of people helping clear mobs I have absolutely no idea how they would code that.

I did two guises and a rubi bp on green and there was never an issue with people not clearing mobs, it just works itself out. It actually had a very classic-in-spirit feel to it; most people were chill af and would actually socialize cause you're all stuck in this shitty scenario together.

Green 2.0 should have the exact same lists and they should work exactly the same as they did the first time.

My way combats weirdos like castle front loading alts on 5000 throw away accounts while still respecting everyone's time on green 2.0.

Hope that helps clarify things a bit.

even a miniscule chance for the 20th person on the list to receive the item is gonna piss off alot of people

how is this not obvious?

/list as implemented did suck, however one cannot argue against it's logic, first in line, first to receive, sorry you don't have free time

a total revamp of legacy loot is required, frankly legacy items simply should not exist

file this with the "I want luclin content" threads

this isn't the server for that

Some ppl need to go through this rage about some casual interacting with them at a named and come out of the other side realizing it's nbd and #casualelflivesmattertoo

I agree. Legacy is nuts. Whatever server they merge green and red too should just have Legacy items forever. Or delete everything Legacy and prenerf on the megaserver old characters go to die on.

/list should be random: NOTHING in classic EQ rewarded you for sitting longer.
