Setting something up like "first to have 15 in zone gets mob" is retarded because people will stay in that zone with the min required for as long as it takes. Additionally just because you can handle trash doesn't mean you can handle the boss.

If it takes 30+ to kill target A then the first guild in zone and pulling trash with 30+ gets first try.
The reason the numbers are presently 15 is BECAUSE that's about the amount for almost all present raid bosses.

I like keeping timers for post-boss spawns 'cause that keeps things moving, people shouldn't be allowed to leisurely clear trash and wait an hour and a half for 60+ people to show up.

And as for the second-to-last paragraph, Rogean said he had a change planned for before the mob. Since we currently camp, any change would presumably be to something other than poopsocking.

Most importantly, I hereby demand the forum spellchecker recognize "poopsocking."
