Rules clarification

taken from Rogaen on the raid play nice policy thread:

"Q: Can we camp raid mobs?
A: If you choose to lay a claim to an unspawned raid npc, your raid must be at the npc's spawn point with sufficient force. (within aggro range of the npc when it spawns, with at least a 15 member raid party). e.g. (inside Nagafen's Lair) This is the ONLY way claims of unspawned raid targets will be respected."

Two raid guilds are in Trakanon's lair within agro range. TMO frapsed and screenshotted their raid force getting to agro range of a Trakanon spawn in Trakanon's lair. Zeelot sent a tell to the BDA raid leader and said they have proof that their raid force was on the spawn point with 15 and that BDa should leave because the mob is theirs. If BDA is forced out with this rules lawyering, why would TMO not have to keep their raid force (or 15) within agro range? As soon as BDA left the zone, TMO backs off everyone from agro range.

What is the point of this rule? Guilds don't want to stand on Trakanon's spawn point for 9 hours. Why should TMO be able to walk up with 15 people and have the opposing raid force removed if they aren't willing to keep their raid force there? This is poor form rules lawyering.

BTW, Amelinda was contacted during this action on irc and refused to comment.
