The lockout system inherently forces some restrictions on guilds helping other guilds (cross or same class). That's because its hard coded in to make everything easier for everyone (auto updates to raid.php). Like Chest said, if too many people help another guild engage a target, they'll get locked out (and it will flag in our system if you kill that mob during your lockout).
My understanding is that if you have one or two people from another guild on the encounter list, it won't lock that guild out. I've never seen it tested, but I know Rogean wanted to allow a tiny bit of leeway in that regard for several reasons. That being said, if you get locked out, don't quote my post and claim I stated you wouldn't get locked out [You must be logged in to view images.

Would it be possible to get an official statement from Rogean on this lockout mechanic?
I would really like to know if I for example, as just one single person, can help out my friends if it's just me with a class C tag.
I'm not out to "help" the class R guilds who can't contest class R content, I just want to be there to help my friends who don't happen to be in a class C guild.
I just feel that if I cannot, that's a really unfair restriction. It just makes me sorta feel like I'm being forced to only play with a specific group of people, and if those people don't have the time, or the manpower to turn class C, then I'm told I can't have fun with them. That just seems kinda crappy to me.
I'm not out to make anything difficult. I'm not out to rule lawyer. I just want to be able to play and fight with my class C friends and my class R friends. Heck, even if my class R friends don't need my help, I'd still like to be able to be there with them on the character I choose to be with them on.
Hopefully this lockout thing and the rules as currently set do make it ok for just one or two people to help another guild without any negative repercussions. If Sirken or Rogean or anyone else can officially let me and anybody else in which this kind of thing is of interest know, that would be greatly appreciated.
