Please explain why it’s a bad idea.
Requiring JBoots, or any item, is asinine. Level req is dumb. If someone can kill it, they'll kill it.

Or if you have mates that can help you kill it. Or if you have the resources to purchase assistance killing it.

There already was a minimum level requirement for the manastone list. Increasing it to 50 and allowing characters to complete once would make it difficult to repeat. The devs already have the ability to configure these list settings so itÂ’s an easy solution.

It would give a strange edge to fast leveling classes that really don’t need further boosting. It also premiers the nolifers even further.

You’ll have neckbeards playing class they don’t enjoy to max level fast so they can camp only for 24hrs i order to get a manastone so they can play the class they actually want to play until they end up having to raid park it 90% of the time and never really play it. Batphones at 4am for 3 years and then get a ST legacy item and feel really empty inside.

Nice to see someone who is actually smart on this forum, its rare. 100% agree with this and will add. People were farming Manastone with a bunch of lvl 19-23 toons at launch. List lvl requirement, only means once you were that lvl, you jumped on list and got to get ahead on que. Mobs still dropped and if no one was on list, congrats you could loot. So pushing requirement to lvl 50. Would just mean those that held the camp for the first 2 weeks, while peeps pushed to 35, would have just that longer to hold said camp and keep farming Manastones cough Velith[You must be logged in to view images.

If your goal is to make tons of platinum, then you'll play at least one fast-leveling class regardless of what the situation is at the Manastone camp.

Remove the Manastone from the game for the first couple weeks. Let players spend 100s of hours killing the same mob over and over again without telling them.

Better yet, have a random chance for the drop to be replaced with a plain old moonstone instead. Or maybe a burned out lightstone, haha.
