FiF has several serious problems:

1) defining what a force is, which would be very mob dependent and each guild would naturally lowball what they consider an adequate force for them.

2) can a force add to itself as more people log on? If not, yeah, that's gonna be popular. Who closes the window for "ok, this is your force, no more may join?"

3) would replacements be allowed as the guild waits? How would that work? Can you start out your force with a dozen rangers then gradually try to get other classes in?

4) if the force # drops below the required number, due to a ld, do they lose the right?

5) socking the camp from when it's spawn window opens, which means that the "FTE" moment means who has a force at zone at the moment spawn window opens, which means guilds would actually sock to be able to sock

6) Can a guild camp multiple spawn windows as long as they have a sufficient force at each?

Way too many problems. Rules upon rules upon rules.

But I do think Velious dragons need to be leashed.
These seem like easy questions.

1. They only get to declare one force. Any size. Small minimum, say 10
2. Absolutely, players can come and go. Just requires the minimum to be present, openly claiming intent to clear to a target and kill it.
3. The idea of "force" is not specific to classes. You have the right to kill a mob with your force unimpeded, and you can have as many or as few of whatever you want. And they can be anywhere in the zone waiting.
4. There would need to be a cutoff, such as two hours after spawn before it becomes fair game. If you have the minimum and someone goes LD that is their problem. Small issues like that are where lawyerquesting gets a foothold and doesnt let go. IF someone claims a camp, has only 10 people in their guild, and one of them goes LD just give them a few minutes to get the person back online.

5. Legit question, I would say if two guilds want to contest the same thing, should be determined by officers /randoming out of 1000 in a public area before the mob spawns or any force has been set up, with no guild being able to claim FiF on the same target multiple times in a row.
6. Absolutely not, at least not in multiple zones. You get one force, no matter the size. Claim it wisely.
