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:
Maybe that's why it's so blasé here?

I should say I meant the “60 hour” comment more as a tongue-in-cheek jest at the absurdity of it.
This was my comment from a separate list thread post-merger:

32.5hrs in between drops is absurd. And that’s been a great time??
My question though on the list is this: how is people sharing accounts necessarily hurting this process? If I were to wait 20 hrs and not get a manastone, I wouldn’t want that time to be completely wasted, so I might enlist the help of a friend. With the present system at least, the devs know it’s taking 32.5hrs between drops, so they have to have factored in that people would be sharing accounts. It’s completely unrealistic otherwise for someone to stay up for almost 3 days straight, so their system almost requires account sharing.
Even though guides will come on here saying “you shouldn’t share your account data,” what else did they expect when they made the drop rates this low? They asked for it.

I honestly can’t fathom having to sit at my computer for that many hours clicking an AFK box every 5-15 minutes. I’ve had to stay up for work in the past for multiple days, and it was draining as all hell, but at least I was up and moving around. I can’t think of anything worth doing that for in a video game. Perhaps I should be more sympathetic to the plight of those that do, but it’s for such a nonessential bit of pixels that it’s hard for me to rationally understand it.
We’re going to see something like this before long, especially with the merger increasing the times spent at these camps:
