personally i'd like to see players (A) follow rules better and (B) quit lawyering rules and (C) be more graceful losers.

in theory a simultaneous full respawn might help this but probably not. chances are IB/VD/TMO would all just go for the same targets at the same time and drive the staff nuts anyway :P

This isn't a very elegant solution because it's not something you can change. You can't make a rule against rules lawyering or being a sore loser, or wave a magic wand that makes people stop being dickheads. What you can change is the system which exacerbates all of these conflicts in the first place. I already showed in my first post in this thread how FTE disputes don't happen as often when the spawns are less spread out (I think this is just empirically true - whenever there's full server repops (which is almost never for some reason I can't fathom), there seems to be less drama over kiting/who got FTE/etc.).
I really think the best thing to do is just significantly reduce the variance. People from Europe can get raid mobs just as easily with a 12 or 24 hour window than with a 96 hour window. Making all raid mobs pop at once would be fun and all, but it would be kind of silly that anyone could just track VS for example and therefore know automatically that every other mob has popped. You should have to track the specific mob that you're going after (except in cases of server repops where it's expected that every mob is up. These were classic and they used to happen, how come we never have them anymore?)
