Rather than just saying it should be scrapped, my suggestions for list improvement: top 6 people must be at camp. If someone in current top 6 leaves, they forfeit their spot and the group members notify the next person on list to get to camp.
Helps with the following problems (including some of OPs gripes):
- more list churn but less likely to end up in a scenario where no one is there to take camp
- prevents line hopping in situations with very long AC spawn time - people leaving and coming back or logging into top positions and bumping others that are presently online
- better ability to estimate your time commitment
- mitigate situations where a person is back to backing with alts
- more transparency
- reduce conflict
At the moment, I think top people on the list are usually hanging pretty close by anyway. This will more organically move through the list by who is online. If you don't have to worry about your #4 spot becoming #10 in the morning after a night of being in camp, you can make a decision if its worth the time commitment (once you're in the group, you get closer to spot 1 not potentially further away due to bad rng and time zones).
