Suppose two alliance named Bob and Sally find a world raid boss, such as Doom Lord kazzak in hellfire peninsula in the outlands. Bob is a lvl 80 tank and Sally is lvl 80 holy priest; both are in ICC25 gear. They look around, don't see anyone, so they proceed to attack it. They get it down to 60% when Sam, Ray, and Joe, three resto druids shows up. Sam, Ray, and Joe get the debuff, "Twisted Reflections", that heals doom lord kazzak for a large amount everytime they are hit by an AoE attack the boss does. A hour later, after Bob and Sally attempted to kill the boss many times but being unable to, due to Sam, Ray, and Joe's actions, Bob and Sally decide to give up. Seven minutes later Sam, Ray, and joe are flying over doom lord kazzak's corpse, after killing it on their own.
TLDR: I start fighting a world boss. Someone else shows up 30+ seconds after I start the fight and does something that makes it impossible for me to kill and/or loot the boss. If I put a ticket in, will they face any actions? Or will the GM go, "Oh, sorry, we can't do anything because we had to be present to witness it".
