That's a really stupid question Knix. What do you do currently when you don't have FTE? You disengage. What should you do in the future when you do not get positive confirmation that your engage is legitimate? You disengage. The difference between the current system and FTE notifications is that you'll have instantaneous knowledge of who has FTE, instead of having to guess who has FTE. If your puller does not get affirmative notification of his engage, then hopefully he's smart enough to realize he's on the hate list but was not told he has FTE, therefore he doesn't have FTE and should figure out a way to drop aggro entirely until the other guild wipes and a new FTE can be made.

The issue, Falkun, that she is trying to point out is that the mechanic can be taken advantage of by FD classes. By engaging and getting the shout, one could then FD while Mr. KoS boss mob goes buckwild on the surrounding guild(s) or straight stalling until Mr. KoS boss mob eventually resets. And that is if said FD class does not stand up just prior to Mr. KoS boss mob resetting.

FWIW I am thinking of mobs such as Trak, VS, etc. Close quarters mobs that aren't a long pull.
