How is this even possible without a hard stim like adderall or meth?

It's possible because people botted it and openly admitted to it (thinly veiled) on the forums after the fact. Anyone with even amateur level programming skill can bypass the primitive AFK checks undetected. Even someone with no skills might be able to whip something together with a few youtube videos and some chatgpt assistance. Then it's just a matter of audio triggers to let you know when shit happens and cranking your speakers up and go to sleep. With a little more advanced programming skill you can automate the entire thing (looting and all) and such a script was pretty much openly admitted to being used by at least 1 person who also claimed to have gotten multiple manastones with it. Others shared account info and played in shifts but that's kinda doing it the hard way.

You have practically 0 chance of getting it legit without playing for unreasonably long sessions. I think all sane people can agree you should never have to play a game 24+ hours straight to acquire an item.

GM's can't even really police it either because bots and legit players look 100% identical in most /list camps. Everyones just sitting there waiting (multiple days in a row lol) for their turn. Everyone sitting there looks exactly like a bot

Just make it so you have to help on every kill or you get booted from the list.

It'll sort itself out quick.

this would require the sort of coding that /list was designed to avoid

This wouldn't really help much at all honestly. Even a basic keyboard macro periodically spamming a macro to /tar mob /cast nuke would circumvent this. Also what about cases where the /list mob has relatively low hp and there's like 10 ppl on list sitting there? It may die before you can even tag it. Especially if you've been sitting there 24+ hours straight. You may not be able to react fast enough to tag something that dies in < 10 seconds. Then what? You lose your spot cause you lost focus for 30 seconds after screen staring for 30 hours? Not a good solution lol

/list is not guaranteed. Ask the dozens who failed camps after 30-40-50-60 hours straight, myself one of them at 56hrs, then a 14hr break and another 52hr camp.

thats just fucking sad

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

Use your brain, pal.

In classic the camp is owned by whoever was there first. No one is obligated to share the camp until they got the loot, then they were expected to move on.

/list simply puts all of this and more into code.

No KSing, no losing camp if you crashed, no hogging the camp once you got your loot.

Sorry you don't got.

BTW,

This horse has been beaten to death multiple times. Here is the tl;dr of every hereto proposed list change sucks.

Here's a thread where I list all proposed changes to /list that I think are dumb and shouldn't happen because the current system works best for botters like myself: https://project1999.com/forums/showthread.php?t=368086
