Most of the confusion/disagreements happen because no one can instantly tell who has rights to the raid encounter via FTE. This is what requires GM intervention to look at the server logs for the encounter after the fact.

Code the mobs to zonewide shout the FTE. Or zonewide shout the first person to get summoned by it. Whatever metric works best. But give us the tools (however non-classic) to determine this ourselves. If Innoruuk shouts "The Mystical Order must be destroyed!!" then other raid forces know to disengage and port out. If other forces see that and ninjaloot, KS, or otherwise interfere with the raid, raid-suspend them for a week. You'll see the drama about who got FTE when decrease pretty quick, I would imagine.

Bruman, its more about the time spent than it is the pixels, to be honest. How would you like it if your guild spent some time waiting for Fay to complete a druid epic, pull it, kill it, hand out the loot, then find out later it wasn't your kill because someone from the raid force at the chessboard had aggroed it with a Eye of Zomm a second before your puller tagged it?
