The only effect it will have is that the number of R-FFA snipes will go up(the only guild who even attempts to /stopwatch and snipe R FFA mobs now is Taken), which is why its important to understand that they don't want to be held accountable for these kills.
And the 10% of the times mean monthly guilds aren't able to kill a mob they are on rotation for. So they get assistance, and then in a few weeks they are able to assist that guild for a second kill.

It is also important to remember what precipitated the necessity for 12-hour alliance windows. When guilds would have blackout hours they would refuse to track or try to kill, mobs but at the same time they would refuse to drop down to the bottom of the rotation after failing to kill their Class R mob.

It did used to be worse. But it can still get better. Simply saying you kill a mob and get a lockout, you drop to bottom of rotation. That's all that needs to be said to improve the rotation. Covers guilds allying together, and the big-bad taken (who you appear to have a Pie-Chart-Hardon for) sniping Class R mobs after they go FFA. There should be mention that if you are repeatedly allying to kill a mob (IE cannot on your own) you should share a merged slot.
