Not looking forward to any of this list nonsense for my shaman's Guise. I feel like on paper the list system is perfect and encourages everyone to help kill, get the list moved along as fast as possible, and build community.
Instead it seems like the system is geared to contradict itself.
Numbers 2+ on the list are incentivized not to kill the mob at all in hopes that #1 dies during the engagement, or petition when they don't engage or kill.
Number 1 is incentivized to not engage, because engagement risks death, and if they are a melee character not bound in Grobb, Oggok, or Neriak for their respective camps, it will be impossible to get back to camp in time after a death.
Yes, ideally number 1 is in a group and the group is mowing down mobs and keeping camp and PH's clear, but if you have 6 people on the list for an item, they should be THAT GROUP. Without /list you'd be in the group with that 35 warrior killing mobs, hoping it drops for a chance at that sweet /ran 100. With /list you have a bunch of people refusing to help, claiming if that 35 warrior can't break camp they don't deserve the item.
Ugh, not looking forward to any of this on my shaman in 10 levels...
