I'm not going to harp on this specific instance, but the whole idea of the list in general. I understand why it was needed, I really do. Quantifying what level the minimum for a list is tough, because if you have a party it doesn't need to be as high. If you're solo it needs to be higher...

The real issue is people who can't clear / effectively camp items solo are listing and expecting help from others when they should probably just go level or bring their own group instead.

Something similar to this scenario happened to me, I was grouped with someone and they asked if they could solo the mobs for xp. I don't care, I dropped group and feigned. Coming back every 5-10 minutes to check on my afk box status, because at this point I don't have any real reason to be there. I come back and he's dead, I have a bunch of tells asking me to de-list for him so he can get back to number one. At this point I have a moral dilemma, either I become a huge dick and tell him no or I just leave and tell him he needs to solo it all on his own. To avoid conflict on a 'game' I log off and tell him that if he can't solo the content he should probably get a group to help him or he should wait until he was high enough of a level to solo the content.

So what is the right call? It's a tough answer and part of me wishes they would just raise the list level on all the items to 50 with a month long lockout, with some GM oversight about solo 50's sniping/being excluded from groups. The other option is to continue letting people snail their way to loot on the backs of others. They're both shitty options so you take your pick, but in the end it represents the community of p99 and maybe we should take better ownership of ourselves?
