The /list system is terrible. Like was mentioned above, people figured out how to automate the /afk checks so that they could just get on the list and only be active when they were #1 (if even then).
It also forced a situation where people could /list with toons that wouldn't be capable of clearing the camp on their own, but the folks below them on the list would have to clear it for them in order to keep the list moving and have a shot at their item. The beads camp was a good example of this.
In some locations (mostly VP key mobs, but also beads) the limit of the /list area also didn't cover the spawn area of the mobs that dropped the listed item. Imagine being #1 on the beads list but not being able to leave the cave to pull the 7-8 possible spawns close-by for fear of your list timer ticking down.
