The rule is if it isn't your FTE then you don't touch the mob. There's no caveats, there's no special circumstances governing illegal FTEs. The mob must reset. Period.

Yea, pretty much this.
They were warned the entire time they were pulling Sev too. There is three minutes of chat log where people are telling them that the pull had to be dropped so there could be a new FTE message. They chose to ignore people who are familiar with the rules, and take their chances with a GM decision. Which should never be the case.
You are supposed to ALWAYS respect the FTE shout. No exceptions. Even if you think the other guild is kiting, or cheating, or their pull is illegitimate in some way. You cannot pull it off them because the FTE is not credited to you, and players do not have the power to overrule an FTE message. You have to let them do whatever it is they are going to do with it (which should be to drop the pull if they are smart) and let the GMs handle it. The GMs have ruled on this very clearly in the past. Numerous examples include FE pulling fay off a blatant kite, pulling gore after an FTE snipe (which was wrong and bad), pulling tal off an alleged kite, and engaging CT off another alleged snipe (which turned out not to be the case). In each of these situations, it was made clear that it was wrong to disregard the FTE shout, no matter how illegitimate we thought the pull was.
The correct thing to do on this Sev, was for nobody to pull Sev in. Everyone who was on the agro list should die/FD/camp/gate/coth themselves, whatever they can do to lose agro immediately. And allow a new FTE to go off.
I don't care whether Taken is suspended or not. The rules are clear and I guess technically Taken should be suspended if we're trying to be consistent in rulings. But rulings have not been consistent here lately, and maybe that's just something we have to accept. I do hope this is the last time this lesson needs to be learned.
If the FTE doesn't belong to someone in your guild, or someone who you're willing to forfeit all loot to (assuming both parties combined are under the two tracker limit), then you absolutely cannot kill the mob. No exceptions.
