100% understand your frustration. 100% think GMs should have given some people some lockets. 100% think this post is kinda whiney and silly.

I can see both sides of this one. On one hand, if you're about to spend literal days camping an item, you should be prepared for the possibility that you won't get it (whether it is due to internet going out, real life interruption, or a bug of some kind). It's an absurd length of time to dedicate to a video game, and you should have some perspective on that. Also, praising the game as a dream come true (for free no less), then complaining about not getting an item that you most likely wouldn't have gotten back on live anyway, is pretty silly.

On the other hand, there was really no reason not to hand out some lockets due to the list being left in. It did kinda give the impression lockets were still dropping, and I seriously doubt a handful of extra lockets in the game would somehow ruin the integrity of the server or something.

In short, poorly handled all around.

Its classic. No one was informed during classic that lockets ever stopped dropping. Move to resolved.

Yeah I did 26 hours (or 25?) for jboots and noped out of any others. I'm too old for that kind of stuff now. I did get on the guise one though because it was empty one day and that went quickly enough since I started at #1.

JBoots was fun for a while though - I was level 40 or so, so I kept pulling open named mobs for the group in the wee hours of the night. Several people got FBR's, black tomes, traveler's packs, and some bracers so at least they got something if they ended up dropping off the list. Also, it helped me stay awake so win/win.

I wonder how much plat to pay jboot farmers you could have farmed with those hours on your own schedule with no afk check box.

Definitely enough to buy a couple MQ's. That wasn't the point though. My first pair of jboots in live was from Drelzna thanks to a random tell I got while xping in lavastorm as a wizard. Guy just said "hey zone in here and loot these" and boom I had Drelzna's boots. Wanted to see what camping them was like. Granted the list makes it different (and miserable) but hey - you get a taste and realize it's not for you. It led to me not being interested in any other /lists and if I were presented with the opportunity again I wouldn't do it. Did I enjoy the experience? No, but I did learn something.
