I recently sought clarifications around DQs. This is my understanding, which Llandris confirmed is in line with the current rules:
Natural Spawns
You are DQd from a target if you have more than two past the line when it spawns,
unless your entire raid force:
- leaves the wing if in ToV; or
- returns to the blue pad if in VP; or
- was in PoH and actively clearing when a Innoruuk or a mini spawned.
In any other instance you remain DQd from that target until it dies and will face concessions and loot deletion if you engage.
Two past the line includes
everyone with your guild tag. People not going for FTE, people AFK somewhere in zone, people in an XP group who don't even attend your raid, etc. all count toward the two tracker limit.
Earthquakes
You are not DQd from any targets as long as your entire raid force:
- leaves the wing if in ToV; or
- zones out if in any planes; or
- returns to the zone line if in any other zone.
If you engage without doing this you are getting tracker FTE and will be forced to concede (and face loot deletion).
---
The FTE lines in the new raid rules effectively define the closest point your FTErs or raid forces can stand - anyone past those lines are "trackers".
You're free to set up elsewhere if you so choose, but you must be further back than the defined line.
