I agree that the high end guilds will see how close they can get to bending the rules before getting banned, and make that a new norm.
But currently the ONLY thing determining FTE on the mobs I'm referring to, is who has better latency and an autofire macro running.
Look at the IB raid suspension thread Derubael posted:

Four different people and three different guilds tagged within the first 4 seconds of a mob being spawned. With the FTE occurring about 1 second after spawn.
That's just dumb. Let's make trackers and pullers coorindinate. Make it so that when you tag a mob you actually have a semi viable raid force in zone. Not just 2 dudes and you get the other 70 zerglings by the time you get to the pull spot.
Here's how I see the extreme version of this panning out, the mob spawns, trackers batphone, and people log in. The pullers will likely end up being bards with selos camped at zone lines who can figure out the quickest path to where the mob is.
This seems like more of a race and less of an automated spamfest crapshoot.
*Personally* I'd agree with a suggestion made awhile back where people had to have a WC or OT zone 'flag' their account to be able to engage the dragon. So that people actually have to port to WC or hammer to OT, then mobilize as a guild and port+run to where the dragon is. Rather than camping out at the closest location allowable with your entire raid.
But, the suggestion I made in the OP seems to me to be more agreeable by all parties and reduce a little bit the retardation of the current FTE situation.
If Class C wishes to keep the 16hour jav spam in VP or something, I suppose they're welcome to do that if jav spam gets your blood really pumping.
