I think either the system Izmael has proposed (/list to join the item group), the system I proposed (/list to win the rights to kill the item mob for 10 minutes), or any other system that relies on "luck and patience" (ie. playing EverQuest) as opposed to not sleeping and clicking unclassic boxes, will be a vast improvement (but just so I'm not misunderstood, the current /list was also a vast improvement over no lists at all).

Any such "randomness, not staring at your screen endlessly" system would address all the concerns you listed and more.

Yeah for sure, I guess what I meant by a better solution was, a better solution implemented by the staff, there seems to be a lot of good suggestions on how to handle it a bit better, though I am curious if the p99 staff are even considering different routes to take with it or if they'll just leave it how it is, and if people actually want the item, that's just the price they have to pay to maybe get it.

By how people berate the staff and complain about this server I feel like they maybe feel it's a proper punishment!

I'm not quite sure how the /list system works as far as other non heavily contested, non legacy camps, can you /list at the AC in OOT and such? I think I would take some exception to a /list system that allowed someone to come claim a random chance to kill a mob someone had been previously camping for multiple hours. Sorry if I'm totally mistaken on how this works!
