As someone who has camped the EE for varying times over a varying number of days I agree. Great implementation Rogean and the rest of the staff.
Message boards always tend to attract the malcontents.

You can go to movie message boards for some of the most popular movies in history and half the posts will be extremely negative.

Just imagine how hard people would be crying and whining without the list system. There'd be a name and shame thread every other day for the 'monsters' who held the camp without giving it up.

A little truth bomb: these lists are only going to get worse.

I'm going to farm plat and buy one later on.

Obviously the correct approach would've been to never have legacy items drop at all.

Probably the best answer but not #classic

Neither is the AE mob limit, or rooted ToV dragons. But things like this are done when the player behavior is creating a far less classic experience than the changes designed to address the problem behaviors.

I highly doubt there were fifty hour wait lists for the EE in LGuK on week three of vanilla EQ. Player made wait lists certainly never required a manual afk check every five to fifteen minutes, you just got a tell when it was your turn to join camp and you had to be in the XP group regardless.

In retrospect, IMO, removing the items that artificially create this insane reaction from the players was the lesser of all evils. I've felt this way, and have mentioned so a few times, basically since green was officially announced.

I do however understand why the decision would feel bad and why they highly preferred to keep these things as part of the timeline. If nothing else it would have created slippery slope feelings like "then why is this hybrid penalty bullshit still in game" for example. But sometimes you just have to draw a line, and its been done due to player behavior in P99 before.

The problem isn't so much the legacy items, but how obsessed some players get about looting one.

The most classic thing actually is to remove them once it becomes obvious how problematic they are, ie now.
