Just to illustrate the silliness that is GM enforcement and first in force, here is a 100% true anecdote regarding the matter.

Back when raid target windows were absurd BDA used to do Jugg farm sessions while Trak was in window. The goal was to get spells for our members and if Trak happened to spawn during the long ass window we could take a shot at him. We'd farm from a protector kill to a protector spawn, a good 3 hour raid or something. Typically we would make camp at the cubby below poop mountain and just leisurely kill stuff. On this particular day Trak was running late into window so TMO was lurking about. We ended up moving our raid force up to near Jumpy's spawn point so we could immediately contest Trak should he spawn while we continued to kill Juggs.

TMO ended up logging in full force, moved directly on top of Trak's spawn point (which mind you is 50 paces from where we were set up) and claimed first in force because they were actually on the spawn point as opposed to near the spawn point. Amelinda awarded TMO first in force rights and they got one of their 200+ Trakanon kills so they could continue VP keying level 1s so they could have twink enchanters with charm sticks or twink necros with soul well staves.

That level of excess is what the hardcore raiders of this server expect. It's not enough to have a 6k raid buffed character with full ST gear, full NToV gear, and AoW drops - it's about having 3 other alts geared like that as well and those hardcore players will do WHATEVER IT TAKES to get that loot. They would sit in Venril Sathir's room for over 100 hours just to get a kill. Taken used to straight up sock Inny for 100 hours at a time if need be. First in force would be a disaster.
