So we had a claim issue recently with where Spires zone claim actually starts, and got it settled but then the next day I log in to find out the opposing guild went crying to another staff member to get a different answer than the one that answered the petition the day before.
Does Spires zone start at dismantling the ward? or Zoning into Spires?
Would make sense that the zone starts at dismantling the ward, or why not just remove the ward? If one guild takes the ward down and another guild decided to run passed then (leap frogging their right of way) to zone the 6 in first doesn't seem logical. That would be like a T11 guild dismantling the ward but oh no a T9 guild wants to go try this out and runs by them because the ward is down thanks to the T11 guild. I understand that it's about being flagged for the zone but that would mean the zone starts at dismantling the ward, being the first part of going into the zone.
This is also the same with Yclist so I have been informed by staff. That if a guild has their force (6 if they are racing, raid if they are not) in zone and is dismantling the illusionary wards another guild cannot just run passed them dismantling the wards with their own 6 members to leap frog claim.
I believe that when Marza answered our petition he was correct, that because we were the first to have 6 and dismantled the ward that, that is where the zone claim starts, even if another guild wants to try to run pass you while clearing the trash passed the ward it does not give them claim over you.
Would just like some clarification and the same rules among all the staff so if this ever comes up again. Also, then if a guild sees another guild dismantling the ward with their 6 and raid online they should just back off and not give the staff a headache. Or if it is that some how this is ruled in favor of the zone starts when you zone into spires then that the two guilds know who needs to leave and it can be handled between the two.
(this is just about where the zone claim starts, not the claiming rules of 6 and capable force online)
