I was only referencing the fact that because it is beneficial to clear the zone, having someone do all the work for you as you leapfrog them is asinine. It's legal, but this will pretty much happen every time. It's not really competition as it is basically akin to camping. Nothing is to stop a guild from doing that indefinitely except the idea of an alliance of members to fight it. 100+ people in pofear? No reason not to if it gives you the upper hand.

What about if there was a first attempt deal to be made with CT? I don't see it necessary in any other zone where leapfrogging really only consists of like 20-30 mobs. The golem rule in effect right now gives you a timer to complete killing two of three golems. Once that is complete, you have first shot at CT. Instead of having a timer to kill the golems, it could be FFA. If, for example, CT is up at this time and multiple raids are racing for golems, then it will trigger DTs on both raids, meaning the raid who can recover quicker will do so and move to the last golem to reach a majority. If the majority of golems requirement is met then the race could be over and CT awarded to one raid force. If the golems are not up then it could be as you said. This way the encounter is either decided much more reasonably than a fight in a zone where trains will easily be caused, or right upon the engage of CT, depending on the state of the zone.

If faction wars still work I'd simply wipe the zone and sit in the zone on CT's path and get the first engage. Not fair to any other raiders who would consider going to fear just to take out the normal mobs.
