It absolutely is guaranteed, if you wait long enough. Meanwhile, on live, waiting that long was all but impossible: if technology limits didn't stop you, the GMs and camp dispute rules would have led to you having to roll off to keep the camp as soon as anyone else wanted it.
The list system is clearly more classic than no system at all ... but a randomized list instead of a "guaranteed if you wait" list would be even more classic.

Randomized list would essentially guarantee some poor son of a bitch will be on the list for hours and hours and just because of his dumb luck everyone who keeps joining after him keeps winning before him, which I submit would be way more frustrating.
/list as implemented is completely fair, or at least as fair as this game can be with such items. The only real potential abuse is account sharing, but even that has a trade-off; some other person now knows your pw.
Legacy items are hard to get and they eventually go away, which makes them cool to have. If they are easy to get, never stop dropping, or never exist at all you're just removing another unique aspect that makes this game unique and unlike every other cookie-cutter pay to win dogshit mmo that currently exists.
One thing that might be worth re-considering is how /list camps are treated for droppable vs non-droppable items. Guises are no drop and always will be, most (possibly all?) other legacy items can be sold. That said, I still can't think of a way to actually improve the current system, regardless of no-trade status.
