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.
