No one called for tracker fte DQ. no one said anything. No one knew it happened. We all believed it was a real fte and we killed it excited.
It wasn’t until 6 hours later when ALS heard it dropped 2 scales that they began to attempt extortion with guild leads from BG for 1 scale or face full item deletion
ALS did not deserve the items any more than bg.
Also, isn’t extortion and lawyer quest against the ALS charter for loot? Aren’t you supposed to kill all your loots yourself??
They never got an fte. We never hindered them from getting fte. It just as easily could of been any other guild to kill it.

I was present for the kill. I got there fast on my druid and was in zone sometime after the first FTE/death but before the legit FTE. There were not enough total in the zone to drop Sev when I landed. The majority of BG mobilized in after the false FTE but we’re present when the mob hit camp. I can’t speak for everyone but I was 100% unaware of this first FTE. It was hours later before I found out.
Serious question here. If a tracker gets FTE and then dies (intentionally or otherwise) only for a legitimate FTE to happen later, how is it illegal again? For the time between initial and legitimate FTE Sev was open game for any pull. I understand the purpose of the rule but the spirit of the rule is to stop a guild from engaging and lazily pulling the mob when adequate force isn’t immediately present and to stop people from sniping competition with cheap tactics.
That isn’t what happened here. The actual FTE and pull was legitimate. I understand that no trackers are allowed to pull or participate without zoning out first but the Druid in question didn’t pull the mob. He logged in and died. Prior to the legitimate tag/pull, Sev was fair game. I don’t know if his intent was to engage, so I won’t comment. All I know is a quake hit and within minutes we were killing Sev. My hope is it was accidental and that’s just where he’d logged out his raid-ready character.
If it was accidental and the tracker bit the bullet and died leaving an open mob uncontested and ready for a fresh FTE, is said guild expected to just concede even though no other guild was present in Force? Remember this all happened after an unscheduled quake so the rules of not being present in zone at time of pop (ie fear golems) doesn’t apply.
Regardless rules are rules. If they were broken the rules need to be upheld. The penalty was quite heavy handed. Similar infractions on other guilds in the past usually stop at concessions. My take is that a competing guild (who did not have adequate force present to kill) just went for blood when they found out we got 2 green scales.
I suspect one of those green scales had my name on it, but. I’m not salty about it. Pixels are pixels. More will come with time. I’m more concerned with keeping my nose clean. From the sound of it, the actual pull was clean. At the time of the legitimate pull I don’t recall any other group having a sufficient force ready to go. The first FTE went nowhere, dude just logged in and died.
C’est la vie ... just sucks to see 2 rare scales get deleted.
