I was salty and I'll explain why. Stalling a permanently rooted dragon means taking too long to damage it to the point when it begins to summon players (97% health). If there is no time limit to get Yelinak to 97% health, I could FTE yelinak on my <Dial A Port> druid and then just stand out of melee range until the server resets. Some may say that "as long as Yelinak is being tanked, it's not a stall." But without a time limit, it's too easy and tempting to cheat by engaging early and then moving the tank in and out of the melee range of the dragon.
The concept of FTE messages and this dragon being permanently rooted don't mesh well. That is why any guilds that plan to engage Yelinak should join an agreement, which clearly defines what a stall is. Awakened and Aftermath had an agreement that said you had to get Yelinak to 97% health within one minute of engaging or everyone with agroe had to disengage and log out.
That's why I was salty, because AG turned the Yelinak meta on its head by employing a strategy that encourages cheating and it will get someone suspended eventually if an agreement isn't reached about a time limit for getting Yelinak into summoning range.
