There has been some great info discussed here into the current state of endgame.

I think a strong compromise would be to just add the pop items onto some other content (i.e., KSNM99 of the same mob type) while also keeping the same spawn conditions. This allows people to get their "experience" of camping while also allowing others to progress to get their desired items through other means.
This would also stimulate the economy quite significantly. Items from the KSNM99 would enter circulation and newer endgame players would be attempting ground kings and thus be buying cursed gear. It's unfortunate that items drop to the floor or hang out in someone's mog safe because they are seeking one or two different abjurations for their group.
I was toying around with an idea related to this. The NQ pops do come from KS99, and their HQ pop counterparts could be readily added to NQ king pools if desired. HQ kings could even still pop on their own if it was warranted (re: drastically spiking population). There is currently a backlog of king pop items on the server, and that system would initially favor older groups unless it was handled differently. But I think there could be some merit to force pops still. What if another item sink was there for those pops to help the exclusivity of drops?
Nas has mentioned the intent to implement White Coney again in the future. What if Coney pop required all 3 king pops? This would keep all major groups in competition for ground kings while also providing other avenues to get gear similarly to the relief Einherjar provided in retail.
