If they want to help, that's great. But making it mandatory in order to hold your spot on the list?

Ridiculous.

If you want a list item why wouldn't you help kill to try and move it along faster? Or else why are you even on the list. In hopes that people get so disheartened they give up and you magically become first? That's messed up.

I havent made it that far yet but I dont want to be accused of ksing if I'm not the active group

I see what you did there but the list doesn't work that way.

anyone killing the list mob is encouraged.

I will demand the peasants farm faster for me while I lie semi afk in the corner. Berating them if they take too long to farm my item for me. I have like 50 more episodes of grey’s anatomy to get through so I should be good for a few more days of afking.

I do look forward to rogues eventually showing up to Najena when no one is there on /list.... and staying there until someone shows up to farm it for them =D

Could do crazy stuff like bring a friend or two to help you camp?

Disagree, this is wishful thinking. There are plenty of very rare items. Are you saying FBSS is 25+%? Is Hooded Black Cloak? I haven’t camped these since Blue pre-Kunark, but aren’t they pretty rare? Razing Sword of Skarlon is incredibly rare.

Plus there’s a huge number of legacy items on Green/Teal. They doubled the drop rate when they split the population. I’m certain that Blue had way more guises and manastones than any Live server ever did, and I bet Green/Teal post merge will have substantially more than every Live server combined. The number of manastones per capita is already going to be outrageously unclassicly high, and we’re whining that the drop rate should be ~5x higher?

I don't think making damage mandatory is a good way to manage this. Just to many ways for an innocent player to get booted off the list. Say you on a list for jboots with a 50wizard who just ICs the mob to the next verse before you even see its up. Be a hell of a way to cheat the system.

Starweaver 11-08-2019 03:32 AM

easier to just boot the person at the top of the list if the mob or it's ph isn't engaged for 30 minutes.
