Under this rule, if you leapfrog, you get spanked.

But how do you prove a leapfrog? More frapsquest and petitionquest? It's not a change for the better.

I guess "give them everything because they'll break the rules if they don't get what they want" isn't a satisfying solution for me, which lead me to write this up.

The only thing you're proposing here is to change the rule that they're breaking. You haven't proposed anything to keep them from breaking it. It certainly won't make things any easier on the staff.

FIF was never the rule here. It has always been FTE (aside from rotations). The reason FTE has evolved into the silliness it is now is 5-6 raid forces would camp on top of spawns and kill him within seconds. This wouldn't happen with FIF because only the guild with the claim would have a right to kill the target.

The only thing that has ever helped to alleviate the "silliness" (your words) on this server was the class system with the class R lockouts. Still, class C was allowed to shit all over each other at will on their own days. But they at least chose to raid that way.

FIF moves the fixation of a right to kill a mob from the moment is engaged to the moment a raid force arrives in the zone.

You still haven't defined what a capable force is in any satisfactory manner. I asked if you were going to assign values to each target, and you actually dodged the question. Your original suggestion would only allow the number to go up and would never address over-gearing the encounters.
Also, what do you do about zones where multiple forces can raid concurrently (NTOV). Is only one guild allowed in the whole zone? Alternatively, what do you do now about guilds who just fill zones with AFK bodies so that they have the right to mobs when they spawn and nobody else does?
You really need to take this one back to the drawing board. And then throw that drawing board into a chipper. And then burn the remnants. And then douse the ashes with acid. It's that bad of an idea.
Like I said before, the best solution they could come up with on live was instancing raid content. The only actual other good solution that has ever been proposed was raid tokens, but that still leaves you a lot of room for sniping and interference from trains and general douchebaggery.
