I love how "just stay awake for 60+ hours" is thrown around like it's no big deal here ... as if it didn't require consuming an unhealthy amount of stimulants, or the sharing of one account between two people.

Not picking on you in particular Smelly, it's just ... the fact that this isn't like some crazy fact to everyone, that it's just no big deal in everyone's conversation ... that itself is a bit crazy to me.

P.S. I should note that making people stay awake to get precious loot has a long history on P99, going back to the earliest days of raiding:

This resulted in three days straight of 15+ players sitting semi-afk at raid targets. For example, both guilds would have players sitting in Fear waiting for Draco to spawn, calling out AFK checks to ensure the other side was present.
Maybe that's why it's so blasé here?
