I thought that in order to be able to compete in class C you just have to kill a class C designated mob? What are these class C fail safes? If anything, it seems to me that class R wants the fail safes in case they can't cut-it in class C after trying.

Yes, to become class C you have to kill any Class C designated mob OR kill a dragon in VP which are all Class C 100% of the time
the failsafes I am referring to are the facts that there are even protected Class C spawns outside of VP. Since it was determined that over 90% of the FFA mobs would go to Class C guilds ( hardest working thus obtain more FTE pixels ) then a more realistic representative cycle for such a play style would be are simply FFA, with no protected C mobs outside of VP.
Since most casual scum guilds dont want to put the effort required to bag those mobs, these would not even be that heavily contested anyway but the fact remains right now there are a whole slew of mobs which are protected and can only be competed for by 2 guilds.
I get it, Class R guilds were getting 0% and the 30% we are getting now is seen as a 'gift', but from a mechanic standpoint it makes sense that Class C guilds are so advanced and they derive all their fun from beating others than they should be eager for that type of challenge ( no more Class C spawns outside of VP, only FFA )
Since this idea will be laughed at or seen as absurd, the next logical idea from a mechanic standpoint has been the other popular cut the FFA out of the cycle and have FFA only active on earthquakes but again Class C does not see any potential for this type of game play. They prefer having protected spawns.
Obviously Class R also prefers having protected spawns, who wouldnt, but R is the restricted class that needs as much help as it can get. The protected spawns are also more limited and as Sirken said last night before Stream got wonky " you are not suppose to retire your guild to Class R and live there".
I am kinda rambling now hmm lunch
