If Devs are fine with players account sharing to get manastones that's their choice I guess, but it doesn't seem to fit with the goal of the list system, and punishes players who make smart choices by not sharing account info with others.
I could see a rule being made that account sharing for manastone against the rules specifically to avoid OWNERSHIP issues related to the stone, which the list is meant to prevent entirely. So while I disagree with your opinion on fairness for sharing accounts in every instance other than this one, I do agree that the ambiguity of sharing accounts to get an item messes with the design of the /list system's purpose - or at least my understanding of it.


Having said that, it might never be fair if sharing is allowed, at least for those that could do the full camp from a position outside the top 3 on the list, but some people due to their lives or prior commitments will never realistically be able to directly acquire a Manastone without sharing the load with friends who they've comfortably shared far more than EQ accounts with. I just don't see a fair fix for this unless people volunteer a second account for a lockout when sharing accounts or some such. And if the helper doesn't play at all and just takes over someones character for a few hours so they can recharge, what does that mean for the fairness debate?
