that's pretty retarded rule, considering it's not found on any of the rule threads and the previous understanding was stalling was okay if the mob wasn't being kited. Stalling being allowed pushed guilds to rush engage and they would sometimes fail due to not enough logging in quickly enough or they weren't buffed or whatever the fuck. It was pretty damn balanced.

Except the problem is that with the right items, you can stall for several minutes. Certain fights make this harder to do with a single toon, but then you can just use 2-3 to the same effect. Then the game becomes who can learn to stall the best. It's hard to make the raiding game here more retarded, but an indefinite stall rule somehow accomplishes that feat.

Then they waste the items they gathered to accomplish that goal and have to spend more time renewing that stock.

Stalling is balanced as long as it's not being kited.

I suspect that spending a few hours gathering some items is considered well worth the reward of killing a dragon. I mean, if the history of poopsocking says anything, it is that people are willing to spend rather inordinate amounts of time to kill a dragon.
