Nah they won FTEs just like Awakened did using the unclassic ability to click off the screen to lower FPS. Wouldn't happen if we couldn't ALT TAB like you could in classic. Down with the Titanium client, WTB Trilogy client!
But really, you are right. There are a lot of things that go against the spirit of the rules, that guilds do. Mainly because they aren't explicitly banned. And while having crystal clear rules would be lovely, the game is so dynamic with so many nuances it's very difficult to cover every single thing. Though when a ruling like this is made, it should just be added into the stickies raid rules list so anyone who is new or doesn't follow RNF or dig through 2 year old raid petitions can see that it is explicitly prohibited.
This behavior though is pretty difficult to see and police unless you have fraps from the offending player. So while it's great to ban it, I fully expect people to still do it since it's difficult to prove. Just the way some nerds operate. The sickness to acquire Yellow Text at any cost seems to be the only similarity between Red and Blue.
At this point just rotate everything but the top mobs like Vulak, Vyemm, Dozekar, Statue, King Tormax, Phara Dar, ST Golems and ST Dragons (when they put sleeper back down). Just make those mobs FFA to get FTE, no kiting rules or any of that shit, kite if you want. Sit under it with a Gate pot, Mage CotH, poopsock spawn with 90 Nerds. Whatever you want. Casual players can deal without the top pixel mobs and still be happy to raid NToV and other shit.
That should remove most of the fraps worth events except when someone purposefully trains you. Basically the only time staff should get involved anyways.
I thought racing would be an improvement over Magician CoTH. And it slightly is, because Mage CotH FTE is retarded, but it opens up far more grey areas which nerds feel they need to operate in to win pixelage.
