It was not a normal encounter. Some rules applied. Others did not. No guilds were made aware of how we were going to rule before we did. Fair? Yes. Allow you to strategize? No.

Inny was spawned at a different location. While this was actually further back in the room from his normal spawn point, he was actually aggroing the zone-in from his spawn point, along with the drakes we spawned. Full Circle were the first to feel his wrath at the zone-in. Then BDA ported up and received some of the same aggro. Then TMO, then FE. Staff was watching the entire event.

Staff awarded the kill to who we thought fairly engaged Inny as he was running around, resetting, being generally crazy. It was our decision.

Blame us if you feel you were mistreated. But remember: this was a GM event. This was not a normal raid encounter.

There will be more events in the future, perhaps like this, perhaps not. It is our discretion to set the event as we please, and we feel it went very well, despite the reaction of some.

Again, sorry if you feel robbed of loot or mistreated. I can assure that's not the case. There will be other opportunities in the future.

Awarded based on FTE... lol....

No where in that post did Ephi say his ruling would have been different, he said the event itself was a special set of circumstances. We have no egos about the encounter, I'm just trying to understand how you could possibly think you are entitled to that kill.

He was halfway down the ramp and walking back to his lair when I took the DT and Fatty brought him into our awaiting raid where a few groups of TMO and one group of FE were also waiting. I can't see how anything was done unlawfully.

FFS y'all, it's just pixels; which no-one is supposed to want, right?

Dont mind him, he's just sad about his old guild being forcefully entered.

Can you people just enjoy the event and put your egos a side for one day? That event was fun. Also thanks for putting guises on random mobs in lguk, I managed to get 2 for my cleric and warrior. Thanks p99 staff

Let me break it down very simply for you.

1. Training the zone in is not possible because he automatically engages and runs toward the raid forces at the zone in.

2. FTE means someone (or guild) is the FIRST TO ENGAGE.

3. How do you physically (or digitally I guess) engage it first if it is already engaged on a random person from a random guild at the zone in?

Now...given that he was en route to the zone in and hence already aggroed on someone or everyone (?), loot cannot be awarded based on FTE in the traditional sense. But this is exactly what happened.

If this was indeed a 'community' event wherein the rules which are made for the 'normal' events by definition do not apply, the loot rules should have been 'communal' and not 'normal' as well. The 'community' should have been rewarded and not one guild.

But I understand that you dont understand. Thats why Forceful Entry exists.
