Actually Miley...

Q: What classifies a mob as "Engaged"?
A: A mob is classified as engaged as long as it has aggro on at least one player.

So, when a mob no longer has aggro on anyone following a quick death touch...it is not engaged. That is where he went with it.

I would also state this rule in of itself, the FTE is contradictory. First to be aggroed on differs from first to aggro, or first to engage. The first can be mob dependent, the latter is player dependent. A mob aggroing you is not the same as you aggroing the mob.
You are Afk? Mob aggros you, starts killing you. Player_01 comes along, engages him and you come back claiming kill steal, citing FTE rule. However, he was first to engage, and aggro the mob. You were the first to BE aggroed, but you were not engaging the mob.

So the rule should be changed perhaps. A mob having aggro on someone does not necessarily mean they are actively engaging said mob.

Also, perhaps enforce courtesy and respect more, or more harshly. Don't allow people to justify or rationalize poor behavior.

And the real failure, the point that is missed here, is that someone might care so little about their reputation. If you KNOW it will create drama, problems, and this whole mess, why do it? Because you think you found a way to get away with acting poorly?

Character is made by many acts, it can be lost by a single one.
