The /list bullshit can easily be solved by not removing items like manastone or make them rare drops after the timeline. I think any item that wasn't retroactively removed or changed should remain droppable somehow. They'll never do this though because reasons reasons reasons #nochanges. And the elite players will be happy because their main objective is making sure everybody else has less fun and somebody buys their manastone for 800k someday so they can twink out a dozen melee alts to solo blackburrow with.
But let's be real, most of us are here to have the experiences we missed out on when we were young and didn't know anything about the game. Cucking people out of that experience isn't part of Classic - people were actually friendly and nice in 1999. Shit, most servers only had 1 raid guild. People were happy sitting around chatting while killing a few mobs every 18 minutes. They even grouped with wizards and hybrids and didn't complain about "mah xp/hour".
The argument that most players had crappy dial-up internet to stop mass AoE also applies to camping an item for days at a time. Few people shared accounts in 1999 and even fewer could tie up their phone line for days at a time. The /list feature doesn't resemble the Classic experience whatsoever and was only implemented so GMs didn't have to babysit these camps.
tl;dr Green 2.0 = don't remove items like Manastone, CoS, etc in timeline.
