I assume it will only shout if a player actively engages? Not from the mob engaging a player?

What will happen? Players within a reasonable distance will receive a message stating $npcname engages $playername!
i.e. (Lord Nagafen) : everyone near the fire giant castle would receive a 'Lord Nagafen engages Nilbog!' message, in yellow, if I was first to engage.

The raid mob will shout when a PC is added to its aggro list, regardless of whether that is "actively engaged" or if the "mob engages a player" (think pulling Fay, Sev, or Tal).

would this senerio happen?
Monk A engages, gets FTE shout and feigns, mob is in process or resetting, but when attacked by guild B monk, FTE shout doesnt go off?, then guild A has FTE and can engage while guild B is trying to figure out why fte shout didn't go off, why it didn't clear aggro when fd. Giving enough time for other Guild A to get on the aggro list before monk A stands back up and gets killed.
In the split seconds of engagement, decisions have to be made very quickly, as no guild wants to dps and kill a mob for another guild. We have watched Talendor ping pong from North to South for no apparent reason other than players FD, or other shenanigans. If FD doesn't clear aggro completely it will be murky imho.

That's a really stupid question Knix. What do you do currently when you don't have FTE? You disengage. What should you do in the future when you do not get positive confirmation that your engage is legitimate? You disengage. The difference between the current system and FTE notifications is that you'll have instantaneous knowledge of who has FTE, instead of having to guess who has FTE. If your puller does not get affirmative notification of his engage, then hopefully he's smart enough to realize he's on the hate list but was not told he has FTE, therefore he doesn't have FTE and should figure out a way to drop aggro entirely until the other guild wipes and a new FTE can be made.
