That's my issue, consistency. I was on vacation when Sadad got dragged to the table by Derubael and TMO over an issue that was nearly 90 days old that Sirken personally told me was squashed. We engaged a FFA Naggy at 10% when Taken had FTE. Taken wasn't likely to wipe and one of our officers made the call to get some hits in. Unbrella demanded a Nagafen because Taken could have wiped thus preventing a TMO engage. Derubael decided an appropriate punishment was to leverage the class R rotation slot we have for Naggy into being skipped the next time up. I fully disagreed with the punishment on multiple levels.
Taken killing Sev was so much more blatant. I'm fucking shocked that the staff made this ruling with multiple incidences of precedence that have already been resolved. It's not consistent at all. Why should BDA lose a class R target over an FFA encounter and Taken gets a warning? What's the logical precedence to determine that? If the answer is "because the staff said so" then expect this type of fallout every fucking time because when the staff isn't consistent there will be questions and cries of favoritism.

After a two (or was it three?) month old petition was finally examined and ruled on, Tmo got banned from VP for a week and our loot was deleted from 4 legitimate kills on the previous VP. Essentially losing loot off 4 kills that we worked for, and potentially 6 more dragons the next week. When our competition essentially did the same thing two weeks later that got us suspended, they had to forfeit a single Druushk to us.
Rulings here may never be consistent. And I wish that wasn't the case. But the only thing we can take away from it is that guild negotiations need to happen, they need to be fair and reasonable, and we can't let issues be brought to the GMs. This is what the staff wants. If one guild comes to another with a reasonable grievance, dropping a pull, or forfeiting a spawn, or giving up the loot, needs to be something all guilds are open to. Letting grudges and fucking retarded politics bullshit come in the way of player negotiations, is in nobody's best interest. And it seems like this happens more often than not.
Also, I don't know who informed you, but that Naggy was at 30%, had not dropped in health for a long time, and the last handful of people were being summoned and killed. I watched the whole thing, probably even had fraps of it at some point.
