If only Fal would drop more drags...
I asked our clan what are the Free For All (FFA) rules
I kind of got the following and this is open to discussion.
I would like to see comments and a good guideline develop from this.
Please contribute....
BOSS FIGHT RULES
Druid - Fal, Brut, V, M are always FFA
6* Bosses:
If two clans are present each should announce their intentions before the first hit.
Once a fight starts and no announcement is made and the second clan engages, it is now a KS.
Communication before the first hit is key and can resolve a lot of after fight issues.
A good example is two clans waiting for Root or Belly. A simple: "Hey we plan to engage, FFA?" this would go a long way in clan relationships.
5* Bosses:
At least two clan members must be present to announce a FFA before the first hit.
This way it will be in chat for a clear record.
Hey FFA?
Boss casts......,
(this is a FFA)
Boss casts.....,
Hey, FFA, second clan engages
(this is a KS)
The only time i see this not working is when a clan is forming a group and an opposing clan member sneaks in and hits first before anyone notices. This is important because we are seeing more and more toons solo high level bosses. To do this you have to use a lot of pots, except if your a Druid

So, if a clan has 4 or more members present before a spawn or hit it is always should be considered as an engagement. Solo stealing a boss is just greedy. If I have four clan members standing next to a boss and a level 90 toon comes in all potted up and steals boss, well expect us to call FFA. Solo stealing a boss in front of a formed group is the ultimate greed. So you best ask first or expect a FFA.
In a perfect world where everyone wins is more or less a noob statement.
Friendly competition and rivalry between clans is fun. I think it makes the game more interesting and fun. Trying to out DPS another clan is always going to have winners and losers, get over it, it is a game!
Laugh a little and don't take a loss of a boss fight so seriously. Noob clan members will be doing stupid things, it happens, we all have made mistakes. Each clan needs to work with those members and help bring about "world peace". Other clans need to have patience and understanding and not brand a clan over a few isolated instances.
All in all, i generally believe that the first group to attack should get it. If two clans are forming groups then stating in chat your intensions is appropriate. Some people don't like this because they get greedy and want all the drops. when people set up a ks when they have all the items already, that's just greedy, and those people lose a lot of respect.
Every clan thinks they are the best. Whether it is because we been around since Adam and EVE or we demand RESPECT, or we are just SINNERS, or you never get INVITE'ed. I hope we can all just get along...
Now let's kick some....
