Would the winner be the only person able to damage the mob? Would it be loot locked to them? What if they were killing it 'for a friend' or an alt? What would prevent a guild from showing up in force each time and then just awarding the item later to whomever they want?

Real question time: do you understand how "/list 1.0" currently works on Green? Because this discussion was not about implementing some entirely new system: it was about "/list 2.0".

Every person in this ten page thread understood that since no one was talking about (say) changing how damaging /list mobs works, that it wouldn't change ... everyone except you.

This is one of the more unclassic suggestions I've heard. Why not just hand out the items...make a NPC that will just give you the contested item when you hail it? Do that for everything people fight over, and there ya go, problem solved....and game over, because as soon as everyone got their little prized items, they would get bored and wander off.

Let's just list all the options, and if you still truly think your option is the most classic ... I think you're full of crap:

• no rules whatsoever, ie. DPS race (one group locks down the best camps)
• no rules except enforced camps (one group locks down the best camps)
• "/list 1.0" ie. infinite length listing (people have to not sleep for days or trade accounts )
• "/list 2.0" random chance to join list, or random chance to get mob/item once on it (anyone can get items, but they have to be lucky/patient ... just like everything else in EQ)
• Fadetree solution: "make a NPC that will just give you the contested item when you hail it" ([You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.])

Your (the OP, and various people in the thread, and not just Loramin) take-away from a world wide deadly pandemic is...waaaa now I can't get my stuff I want? But, but...I always wanted it it! How about you guys get over your ridiculous whining and just play the damn game. No, you aren't going to get everything you want. If you don't like it, there are other worlds than these.

Yup, you've absolutely mastered the English language, and are able to comprehend what other humans write ... even though you're basically having a conversation with the voices in your head, instead of actually meaningfully responding to what all those other humans actually wrote.
