I had a Terrorantula on me when I engaged the AC, and I charm it onto the AC.

By the rules it's Meltan's AC. Not once was that disputed.

Eunomia blew me up and told me to leave the ring on the corspe, which I did. Want to ask her?

Whether or not Meltan got a ring from Eunomia, I don't know since I haven't spoken to him since.

If you see a Ring in my bank right now, it's because I went to OOT yesterday and camped the spawn for 6.5 hours to get another ring. Want to check your logs?

Check with Eunomia and look at the logs that show the Mob's health. It was at 100% when I engaged and the GM blew up my corpse and told me to leave the Ring on the corpse.
Logs don't get that specific. Yes, your ring was corpsed (I just looted and deleted it to prevent future shenanigans). What I'm saying is that the amount of time between the mob spawning -> Meltan's engage -> your engage show that Meltan is more or less free of shame here. If you're going to let an FFA spawn stay up for ~4 minutes before you engage it, you should probably expect to lose it.

Even on a defined "camp" I'd say leaving a mob up for 4 minutes is pushing it. I don't think Meltan did anything wrong here based on the amount of time it took you to engage, and Eunomia did the right thing removing the ring. If he had "stolen" the mob from you in the first 15-30 seconds, that might be a different story, but that wasn't the case here.

This is why people camp the AC in OOT - unless you bring a group (like you would for a popular spawn like Quillmane) you should expect to be vying for FTE on the SRo AC.
