The player-moderated Ancient Cyclops list is a disaster.

Fuck a /list mechanic, I would just bring The Hand of God down and perma-lockout the ring to one per character.

The AC has been such a shit show for years. It is clear to any sane person the easiest way to go about getting Jboots is to farm the plat instead. Which makes you wonder, if it's easier to farm the plat, then why farm the AC for a MQ? All of the MQs can't be just from SRo luck. Some elf shenanigans are going on somewheres abouts that make farming this hell hole profitable for a select number of people.

I don't want to say there is a Cyclops Mafia within the ranks of elf nerds, but there probably is.

Every other valuable spawn in this game gets monopolized by the same few people, why would you imagine this one to be any different? This garbage list system just gives them a "sanctioned" way of doing so.

DING DING DING - We HAVE a winner folks. Once you have a situation where farming the plat becomes less time-consuming than the actual camp for EVERYONE (not just the ez-farm pet classes), it's obvious that the mechanism creating this log-jam is benefiting a select few... which is why out of the HUNDREDS of people who populate this list every day, there's not even a handful of people on this 9 page thread defending it.

I don't see you predict 50+ in that thread, only your claim that you previously did.

Yes and no.

I predicted Manastone /list would blow up to 50+ if there were no AFK checks.

Lo-and-behold I overpredicted everyone else, but underpredicted the actual numbers - and that for an item that never leaves game.

I think we can see now, if The Manastone had no afk checks it'd be 150+

CORRECT

You all are gonna get AC camp /listed because you can't play nice.

My name kept disappearing from the list months ago. I said fuck it, made a Shaman and have about 60 SoW potions in the bank and honestly, 6K for a MQ is pretty cheap. Had someone even offer it to me for a tink bag. Would rather spend a night camping guards and buy the MQ even if the list was better managed. Have had a lot of friends do 12+ hours after waiting days and still not get the ring. I can farm 6K in less time than that without any stress.

High stress and unpredictable? It's a static 6 minute spawn. The stress is created by this excelquest garbage.

Honestly, you just need bigger and better bullies to come by and do away with this farce of a list. The dumbest fucking thing I've ever seen come out of P99 camps.

Yup, community has gone soft since the heyday of blue. The people who know "how things work" at the top, regarding the economy and how the future life of a server like this plays out are taking advantage of the better intentions of the rest of the server with their spreadsheetquest farm conglomerate.
