@ Everyone who wants variance removed: You were obviously not there for the few weeks when there was no first-15-on-island rule for noble dojorn. Guess what happened? For a few spawns there were 3-5 guilds "poopsocking" noble's spawnpoint because everyone knew he was going to spawn. Guess what happened each time? All guilds engaged, dojorn was down within seconds and nobody had a clue who engaged first. Besides that it makes the encounter trivial it does need GM intervention each time, and its not the least fun. So the GMs decided to make a rule so whoever gets first 15 on dojorns island would get the kill, cause there was NO WAY the fix spawn timer was going to work. Trakanon and Venril would probably be worse than that.
Live was different, live didnt have so many competing guilds, capable of raiding. This isnt live, the rules that applied there wont work here, it's not like
we didnt try.

It's been suggested multiple times over and in multiple places that raid mobs shout the name of the first person to engage them so as to eliminate any confusion (heck, DT'ing mobs already do this), but the devs haven't gone with it.

That way you would remove the need of GM intervention, but still raiding would be no more fun at all, when it only comes down to who of the 100 people around the mob get the first hit? How much fun is that? Welcome to p99, where luck decides who gets the kill
