Want a serious, classic suggestion, hobby?

Make the timers/variances just as they were on live. Start with that.

Then we can do FTE, as that'll probably suit the most amount of people as a general rule of engagement. I personally know there was a way you guys had to see which mob was engaged by whom and when. I've seen it in action a few months ago. There will certainly be an influx of /petitions the first 3-4 weeks of the variances getting slimmed down or completely removed, but you can also be far more strict with the way punishments are dealt out. To boot, you don't even have to do it as a priority. Take a week or two, i don't care. So long as the issue gets resolved and the guilty party is dealt with accordingly, i don't care how long it takes you. Guilds have taken their own screenshots to prove who engaged said target first as well and it's been dealt with without GM assistance before.

If there were a way (just as somebody suggested earlier) for the mob to shout who engaged first it would settle the issue. The /shout determines it all.

No sitting in aggro range requirement, no poopsocking advantage, none of that. You will get guilds teaming up to get a better chance at loot and if you think sitting on the spawn point at trak is a good idea, then good luck to you. Hell, make them all an hour window. Surprise bitch!

First guild who is buffed and can engage the fastest without wiping gets a legitimate shot.

There would be issues that arise, such as who gets the next shot if the guild/party who engaged first wipes? That'd have to be smoothed over.

This is obviously just one of a number of alternatives to the current system that would take out the variance and only slightly (i think) increase GM involvement. Started with this one because the idea of a mob /shout intrigued me.

Bah bah bah bah

Tell your guild to learn to play before whining noob.
