No, I understand that. I too struggle to reach even further levels of pixeliteness and welcome any chance that allows me to progress.

I meant how was this back in the day?
Remember that back in the day, there weren't 3,000 people in 10 different raid guilds on the same server reading the Project 1999 Wiki and planning their strategy for a plane that didn't yet exist and camping a single mob with a 36-hour spawn time that sometimes drops Spell: Summon Corpse a month in advance of the existence of said plane.

Let us also remember that the original justification for the /list system, back when it was for legacy items, was that it approximately replicated the classic solution to contested camps: a GM would show up and set a list order for who gets the item next. I'd say this is about as good as it's going to get. The hardcoded list will cut down on petitions.
