I am relaxed. Not sure why you think otherwise.

The reality is there aren't that many solutions available when you think about it logically. Here are the constraints:

1. P99 will never have paid subscriptions.
2. P99 will never be instanced.
3. P99 will never have paid staff. They will always be volunteer.
4. P99 uses classic long respawn timers rather than custom respawn timers that are faster.
5. P99 allows you to make a lot of free accounts.
6. P99 devs are not willing to force the /list system they created on a large number of camps. There is no reason to assume they will make another automated system like /list that will do things such as prevent specific accounts from looting specific items for a period of time.

Those constraints heavily reduce the available solutions. These are the solutions that would be viable:

1. FTE
2. DPS race
3. Roll Off
4. Rotations
5. Player enforced lists (not the /list mechanic)
6. Free for all (no rules, can train people, ninja loot, etc.)

None of these solutions will make everybody happy. Rotations are hard to enforce, as the staff has to do it. This is why rotations are generally limited to something like Plane of Sky, where it makes sense. The key system unique to that zone makes it difficult to go though the entire zone without changing the mechanics or enforcing a rotation.
