This used to be server ruleset way back when. It was a nightmare of poopsocking and Rogean hates few things more than poopsocking. This won't happen.

Besides its harder for staff than a yellow FTE message.

listen to sirkens last twitch broadcast about the issues FIF brought....

Not true, FIF was definitely a (edit: player rule) rule in 2010. You'd need 15 players in the vicinity of the spawn.

I remember being in DA in Fear hanging out near CT's spawn with 15 members which guaranteed we had first crack at CT.

Ahh. I had only just started playing in 2010.

But I'm not looking for a player-base solution. I'm looking for a staff-enforced solution.

Save your breath.

I know but I was bored.

pardon me for not reading these long posts - did you propose a limit as to how far in advance FiF could be asserted?

I don't, for a few reasons.

First: With variance the way it is, its impossible to know exactly when a target will pop, so saying "No claims can be made more than 6 hours before a target spawns" is ripe for lawyering. Can a guild re-claim every 30 minutes?

Second: Having a "No socking more than 2 hours before a target goes in window" will mean that people will just show up 2.01 hours before a target goes in window and lawyer at each other over who has the real claim. This is better than training, but it doesn't really help answer the question of who owns the claim.

Third: There are so many targets available, if guild A wants to sock Statue (and AoW) for 24 hours to make sure they get it, they will miss out on every other spawn in the game that spawns that day. All of Velious, all of Kunark. I don't think they'll do that.

why wouldn't every guild try to FiF the sock for vulak?
