I'm just trying to work through possibilties. The two planes are for the most part cleared upon repop by any group looking for planar drops and/or people waiting for raid mobs to spawn. There are occurrences of fear being fully populated, with golems, and no one is clearing. If CT popped, this is where the rules could have this clause just to help decide whether or not a guild is just going to sit there and AFK camp for 3-5 hours while the other guild clears and then hop on it, or if they go ahead and get to killing off the rest of fear quicker because they have first shot. There's still a huge race involved but it's not as long of an event.

Cool, I agree that it's prudent that we try to think through the scenarios and what the player incentives are.
I don't think there is much incentive for guild Y to sit mostly afk in PoFear for 3 hours while guild Z is busy killing mobs so that Y can pounce on CT as soon as Z is done. Firstly, why would the players of guild Y want to sit still doing nothing for 3 hours when they could be playing the game? Secondly, why would Z kill off the last mobs while they themselves were out of position to make a play on pulling CT? Nah, I think both guilds would be killing off mobs. Their raid leaders should probably be talking to each other. They will have some choices to make as the zone becomes nearly cleared, but that will make the whole situation a lot more fun and interesting... as long as both sides abide by the rules, which is why the penalties are harsh.
Yes, this absolutely makes it possible that one or more guilds will end up putting in an hour or more of clearing planar mobs and not end up getting the shot on CT. That is a risk, but it is a risk that those guilds will take knowingly. They could always choose to leave the plane. They could choose to bargain for a random or duel to settle first attempt rights before or after the plane is cleared. There are many options, but one thing that absolutely will not be an option is the kind of mostly afk camping for days that happens now.
