So be in a group camping it?
wtf are we talking about here..because without that list thing you would have to be. You gonna show up to a group/guild camping the item and throw out a /random 100 for shits and giggles?
You are not entitled to squat just because you play, modern games takes you into consideration and lets you buy your items to 'support' the poor dev team.

To be clear, I'm talking about an extremely high level change: going from "the 0.1% of the server that is willing to do things no one else will ... gets the best stuff" to "everyone has an equal chance to get the best stuff (but of course some will put in more time, and thus have a better chance)".
I worry that quibbling over exact details will miss the point ... but this is a forum and we all have too much time, so let's quibble

If you had a player-roll-agreement-style /list, one simple answer to your concern is "well what would happen if someone did that for Scout?" And so one answer is ... everyone on /list would have to help. /list wouldn't compel them to, but if they want the mob dead so it can respawn and they can have a chance on that next spawn, they''ll be incentivized to kill it.
But I'd argue "everyone is compelled to help" isn't very EverQuest-y; it's us players making the best of a bad situation, and lots of people here don't like it because of that. What would be more "EverQuest-y" in my opinion is that winning a "/list roll" gives you a window to kill the mob. If you don't do so within that window, another roll happens.
