Default The 60 Minute Rule

After someone wins in FTE they currently get 60 mins to complete that kill. That is so that more casual guilds that like the idea of clearing to the dragon (as the game was intended) have time to do so.This rule is completely inadequate for giving casuals the time to clear to the dragon. There has already been situations that prove this, its too little time. I see no reason for a time limit for casual guilds, let them clear there all day for all I care, if they give up that day -- the dragon goes to other guilds.

It also has the unintended effect of reducing competitiveness in the A/A scene. If you are train-pulling instead of clearing, this rule gives your excessive time. Under the old system, you better damn kill the dragon once its in your camp, this isn't even true anymore. Go ahead and wipe once, you have plenty of time. You might even get away with wiping twice. The other guild has to stay logged in the whole time...its fucking stupid.

The solution is obvious. Just reduce the 60 min rule to 30 for train pulling, remove it all together for guilds that choose to clear to the dragon. A/A will never elect to clear to a dragon, so there really isn't a way to exploit this from their end.

I'll have my team of lawyers review this and submit a counteroffer in a month.

I think the RnF rule should stay as is.
If you fail at FTE post in RnFs.

Beware rule lawyers that start their logical progression with "As the game intended".

This stands an excellent chance of passing considering its being posted in RNF
