I'm personally not a fan of how the list mechanic works. I've seen a bunch of abuse and neckbearding taken to the extreme. I would have personally had the item /random out to those that are on the list with perhaps increased odds for #1-#3 or something. Not a dev though.

Yes, that's almost exactly what I'm saying!
The only difference is the part about "should people that have waited longer get a better chance?", which is just a tiny tiny detail compared to the overall idea of making it so anyone who shows up
has a chance.
Part of me is against the "better odds the longer you've been on the list" (or for #1-#3, or whatever), because nothing else works that way in EQ: when you kill a PH, there's no greater chance of getting a named, even if you've been killing that PH for three days straight.
But, at the same time, you want "the good stuff" to go to people who "work harder" for it (but again,
without creating a "threshold"). Giving people who've waited longer a better chance, while maybe not super-EQ-y, does fit that.
