In classic if you where camping something you'd kill it or the ph, set a timer, go and do some stuffs around the house, come back and repeat. These AFK checks are unhealthy, forcing you to sit at the screen for hours and hours just incase you miss clicking that button.

If you want that legacy item so bad, you need to put in the time.

"That would be classic, and it's not like this place is for classic EverQuest or anything: geez!"

I don't see why it should be bannable. Just because people have friends and guildies who will help them out?

If you share your account, you're putting yourself at risk as you're responsible for whatever happens while the account is logged in. Someone could do things to get you banned; someone could steal all your stuff. I'd say that's enough of a risk. Don't need to make it against the rules to account share.

so you're cool with sharing accounts, but don't think the AFK should be changed as people need to be there for a legacy item. Ok got ya.

Legacy items should be extremely difficult to obtain, if you wanna do a casual camp and come back after doing laundry or the dishes or whatever pick one of the hundreds of other non list camps... this isn’t complicated. If you want Ruby BP, Guise, Manastone you gotta put in the consecutive man hours OR come up with platinum.

The AFK checks serve multiple other purposes so it's not really the same thing.

Doesn't help against people that use remote control software to change places. Toon is logged in from the same PC/IP the whole time.

Staff here said this is already bannable

You should drop off the list if IP changes IMHO

It's all but impossible to detect VNC-style software because it takes control at the OS level and "remotely controls" it the same way as an ordinary user. In fact, if I were a betting man I'd put $20 on at least 1/4 of manastone /listers doing exactly this. The only alternative is to drop on/off to switch with another person (risking losing your position) or using a ton of Adderall to do it yourself.

Oh, and for basing it on IP address, that wouldn't help at all. When two people remotely control one computer, that one computer maintains its same IP. All it would hurt is people whose connection goes down (ie. the people /list is trying not to kick off), because they get a fresh IP from their host (or VPN) when they reconnect.

IMHO the problems with /list are NOT technical in nature: they're systemic. The only solution is for the system to change (eg. to short/fixed length lists that you have to win a random to join).

Again, the AFK checks serve multiple additional purposes, so you can
