We could play the I was there first game all day long. What kinda radius do you own when you walk into a zone? You own the entire zone, or just like a 20 foot radius? What about mobs you don't intend on killing, mind if I have those? I didn't relieze that just because people are in a zone that entitle them to tell me what I can and cannot do in that zone.
As far as what kind of person I am, I suppose that would be dependent on the day, and what I want. No, I won't walk into you camp and start killing mobs in general. But if I need something from them for myself or a friend then I will kill them. Still I would try to skirt around your camp and kill the ones farthest from you as opposed to just running up behind you and stealing your next pet.
But I would say that on my server you will rarly find someone as helpful as me. There isn't a day that people arn't asking me to help with avatars, LB runs, advice, NM killing, coffer/key hunting. And I try my best to help everyone I can. I certainly won't say I am the only one that does this, but I would say that people that help to the extent I do would not represent the majority of the populace.
So if a friend ask me to go hunting for a mnk testimony, and we go to Castle O, but someone else is hunting for a mnk testimony as well, I should up and leave according to you. Now this is not an ideal example as there are other places to get a mnk testimony, but lets assume that someone is hunting them at all the locations they are available. You would argue they are there first, so I have no right to help my friend trying to get a testimony.
Same goes for the basement of garliage citidal, I need a coffer key from there, yet someone is hunting a coffer key, so tough for me, I just need to not interfear with people that beat me to the zone.
All I'm saying is that a zone isn't yours just because you were there first. You are entitled to no mobs except the one you are currently fighting. And while a decent person/party will let you to your own, not everyone will. Otherwise Caedivre Mire wouldn't have 100+ people in it over the weekend, and other camp grounds way over camped and crowded.
I'm curious as to how far your "I'm was there first, it's mine" mindset goes. If you decide to camp a particular NM, and you are the first one there, would you argue that with people that show up just before it pops that the NM is yours? Or if you notice a NM on widescan and see a person that is obviously camping this NM (that you have an intrest in as well), would you inform the other player of where it was, or kill it yourself?
EDIT: hoomoo brought up the topic of NMs so I suppose you have already answered that part.
