Recent Clarification

I asked about this when the rules were implemented 7 months ago and this was the original clarification you provided:

My question:

If a guild fails to kill the mob within 60 minutes, is the mob then FFA and the zone specific rules don't apply anymore? Or does the next FTEer get FTE and then they have a 60 minutes.

The response:

4) the guild has 60 min to engage the raid target. if they wipe, or exceed the 60 min limit on engaging, the raid target then becomes FFA and these footrace rules do not apply.

Which I think is a contradiction of your recent clarification:

11/17/2016 updated to clarify something that I assumed was common sense:

And if your guild wipes, the target is considered open (not engaged) and can be FTE'd by anyone, and then that guild/raid will have an hour to make an attempt at killing the mob.

Now, if you want to make that change, that's your prerogative. But I think the original way of handling it was more clean. Once a guild fails to kill a target for 60 minutes or wipes, it's a lot more reasonable to just let the mob become FFA. There is no concern to starting on the start line exactly at 60 minutes or anything like that.

What's going to happen is guilds will be putting monks in other guilds raids and when they wipe the subsequent FTE spam of the dragon at LTK or Entrance as its killing the original guild's raid force will then count as your guilds 60 minute lock in. Seems like it's just going to encourage sitting in a guilds raid force hoping to get that free lock in. Also it seems impossible for a guild to get another attempt at the dragon should they die, since I suspect when a dragon is wiping you out any FTE that fires off on your guild doesn't count to lock you in, but does count for another guild should they attain FTE this way?

Just my 2 cents from a dirty casual.
