The ruling was fair.
I've had a lot of people ask me a lot of different questions and propose a lot of different scenarios. The spirit of the FTE rule is to award the kill to those who were the first to attempt it. Yes, guilds have gotten away with FTE sniping in the past. Yes, there's a chance they'll get away with it in the future. It's our job as staff to make the best ruling based on our judgement of the situation, and the facts at hand. I was watching the engage. TMO did not "interfere" with a pull, because the entire raid force was running toward CT. In fact, Drui of TMO took a DT before Scorchin did, and the rest of the force was right behind him. Quote:
TMOs entire raid force was under CT when Scorchin was DTd. No other FE were anywhere near him. The encounter logs support that statement. Like I said, the FTE rules are there to provide the best level playing ground for the server and all guilds who want to participate. These are not hard and fast, 100% FTE always wins rules. It certainly wins when there are no other facts at the table. But saying FTE is the only thing that matters is like saying you can tag FTE while simultaneously training the other raid... there would be other facts there that inform the decision. I was in the zone and watched the encounter. I ruled for awarding to TMO and Sirken agrees with my ruling given the facts made available to us (namely, my eyes and the encounter log). This DOES NOT mean that FTE should become FTD (First to Damage) or some such nonsense that I saw mentioned in OOC or a tell (can't remember which now). FTE is valid as long as the guild is making an attempt at killing the raid mob, and no other factors are present. And for those of you asking when FTE shout will be implemented -- CT technically does this already. The combination of 'Denizens of fear...' + a DT shout is equivalent to an FTE shout. | |||
