The only fair way to "fix" /list

OP, just a reminder, your idea (and every "original amazing this will fix the list" idea) has been played out and refuted in other threads.

Try the search function on the forum to save yourself some time and save us space on the front page.

Thank you for your input, but it seems that most people agree with my proposition.

It also seems that most people find you obnoxious, but I digress.

There is no way to fix the list system. Random award to the top 6?

Top 6 what? List members? Then it's still the same, you wait for 40 hours, then get 'admitted' to the exp group (who controls THAT?) and then you get screwed by RNG and still people sharing accounts fill up the list. If you don't have to be in the exp group, then you're saying that I would get an item just for breathing and wouldn't actually have to kill the mob? How would I get it? Get it magically transferred to me?

Could the /list system be made slightly better? Maybe, but I haven't heard how yet. Can it be 'fixed' so it's 'fair' and people can't scam it? No.

I appreciate the idea, its worth thinking about, but ultimately it doesn't work. Nothing does, unless you wrap so many rules around it that it changes the whole game.

Have you done any /list camps? It usually works out pretty well. The exp group forms itself and people get exp. The two times I camped Jboots, people were also friendly and helpful to the noobs who were actually exp'ing off the mobs and buffed them and whatnot.

get screwed by RNG

This is gambler's fallacy. You'll get screwed by RNG as much as you'll get lucky and in the long run it will balance itself out.

and still people sharing accounts fill up the list

Who cares if you're in top 6? Let them fill the list all they want.

ultimately it doesn't work. Nothing does.

Having a rough day? Look, plenty of filthy casuals with actual kids, lives and hobbies (other than EQ) got their noob-ass toons guised and jbooted. This can't be all that bad, can it?

Since when sharing accounts is illegal or even wrong?

It’s not against the rules but it should be. It creates problems with account security and it is essentially an unfair advantage. If you want your friend to help you, he can do so on HIS character.

It will balance itself out? Over what, the 50 or so times you do a /list camp?

Well, if there's enough /list camps in the game, you will have the opportunity to do a bunch of them.
