The player-moderated Ancient Cyclops list is a disaster. - Page 7

Just start your own list! with blackjack and hookers

But yeah, I mean if I was camping it (which I don't care to do) and there was someone there waiting in line, they get the next spot. Seems like the easiest thing to do, if you want the item you wait at the camp.

Though thinking about it, with the creation of this list system, the chances of someone who isn't on the list getting the camp seems much more difficult. Unless you happen to be there when someone is finished, and they also find the 100+ player list to be stupid.

So it does seem to me that this player made list has actually made getting the camp more difficult..? It's just so everyone can do other things while having a MUCH longer waiting period, and is open to manipulation apparently.

Just make it a /list camp and limit to 1 per character like the summon corpse spell? AC in SRO can still be the MQ-able one?

Don't think anyone wants it /listed

player agreement that you need to have a presence in OOT to remain on the list & be able to clear the PH's sounds more reasonable.

Yeah, I think that does sound better, something other than this huge offline list of people

Player mediated/moderated/menstruated; it's all the same old shit from the same old cunts.

Expect less, get more. You'll be happier in life -- including your sim elf one.

looks like someone blew up the list and is holding it hostage. was fun while it lasted.

I say /list it, lists are fair.

Obviously the OP put up with some serious crap or he wouldn’t have posted a novel about it. The truth is, he is right and you all are some greedy pixel hungry dbags if you are attacking him. Everyone in their right mind knows p1999 camps are a total shit show.

Also, it should be emphasized again that a large number of people on this list are regulars that add themselves back to the list immediately after getting their ring of the ancients. If you require people to be PRESENT to remain on the list, this kind of passive farming is discouraged, and those who prioritize the camp because they actually need the boots will get more opportunities. As it stands now, we have the same crowd of farmers extorting the rest of the server for 6k a pop. These are the same people that'll post here that you should "avoid the drama and buy a MQ."

It's ok, say it with me: Fuck those people.

If you want to be a farmer, you shouldn't get to parachute in from the fucking plane of hate, or another plat camp you're farming, just to clog space in front of someone who might not have the desire to raid and farm like you, but just wants some damn jboots to enjoy the game a little more.

I understand and agree with you, but there's another side to that coin. I manage a retail store, for example, so I rarely have time to play the game. As it is, I'm probably gonna forgo inspecting the store some morning/evening to camp jboots. But If I had to sit at the AC camp until it was available, I would never get jboots. You might say "this is fine; after all, MMOs are timesinks, and it wouldn't be fair to the players who invest more time to water the content down for the players who invest less time. Your job may be incompatible with MMOs, and you should be willing to prioritize accordingly." I don't have a strong response to that other than to say it is healthy for the game and for the player base for more people to have access to gear and experiences, whether it be through open raids or long lists or what have you.
