In my time with TMO I can think of only one occasion when a batphone went out shortly before a mob popped. It was a batphone for Trak. We all logged on, found out the tracker had hit a hotkey by mistake and someone else sent a batphone. It was some ungodly hour an as you can imagine many people were really cranky about being woken up including Zeelot. Much yelling occurred and dkp penalties were handed down I think. Shortly after that, within 5-15min Trak actually popped. We all logged back in and killed it. Since then we have had 2 more false batphones (I think that's the count) that were not near any mob spawns and 2 different threads on our boards specifically addressing proper systems for tracking including NOT using macros for announcing a mob has spawned.

Now I'm all about conspiracy theories, but not really much to go on from this. As far as saying something about a dragon spawn in a group then dropping 5 min later cause something spawns: with an active roster of 121, lots of people are gonna be online playings alts. As Turp says many of us try to be courteous to our group mates and alert them that we may be logging with little to no warning. The probability that someone will make a comment like this within 5 minutes of a mob spawning is probably a lot higher than you think it is. I'm sure witnessing someone saying hey guys just so you know a dragon could spawn anytime then 2 min later he says shit i gotta go seemed odd but I bet it happens almost every week.
