there is a private list system going on at AC in OOT?

While I agree with your premise, it sounds like the person you are responding to is thinking of a slightly different situation: not the same "person", but the same "people". As in you have a rotation of 3+ people that simply log in during their "time slot" and take over the camp from the previous. Under this situation, I could have 3 times the time available as any of those people and still not get anything for that time (being realistic with drop rates... "not getting the opportunity to get anything"), which is the exact opposite of what we expect in a game like this.

I'm not yet at a level where this really affects me, but an item like the RotA is something I'd like to equip on my character, and it's not like I can just farm the plat to buy it except in the case of outright purchasing loot rights, I guess.

I dunno, perhaps I'm mischaracterizing the sides of this argument.

Well so this is why I kept asking Donkey if there was more context [You must be logged in to view images.

Having not sat at the AC list on Green myself, I can't confirm or refute that claim.

All I can say is that IF there is a cabal of players abusing the system, all it would take is one concerned player sitting at AC for a few days and recording who is up each time, to establish that that is in fact the case. And then once that's established, all that person has to do is /petition, and I would expect the staff to act in some way.

Until someone actually does that though ... I'm more inclined to believe this is just a player who is mad about the long line ahead of them, and they're baselessly imagining a conspiracy (because of Occam's Razor). And even if a conspiracy did exist (which again, I can't rule out) ... it's a whole other claim on top of that to say that the staff wants it to stay that way ... a claim that can very easily be tested by doing what I described.

Well my refusal to construe the argument as anything but trivial so that I could speak condescendingly to Donkey as if he was FOB from reddit is all Donkey's fault. QED.

The person would be incorrect in this case though. The list for the AC was, as of this afternoon, 120 people long and the order was being strictly enforced (you can log off and/or go AFK all you want but you lose your spot if you are not online when your turn comes). So there’s no rotation going on among a select number of individuals.

Every time someone petitions a contested spawn the area around the spawn should become a PvP / arena area for one month. The only true and fair method of resolving pixel issues.

I wonder how many people complaining about the current system for AC have actually used it.

How is a list for one mob that ridiculously long and poopsocked?

Drugs.

Clever. But is the cure for camp problems on blue/green really to let our population get so low that at peak times each player has on average three whole zones to themselves?

That doesn't happen on blue/green.

So the alternative is a week long waiting list just to get camps like OoT Sisters, AC, frenzied ghoul, etc?
