I haven't read this whole thread because I have not had the same experience at all. To add my two cents to the well:
I am a little biased since I am able to play in off peak times pretty regularly (GMT+6.5), but in my experience when a PLer was in the area and pulling an entire zone, a friendly tell or /ooc of where I am camping and how many mobs I was soloing is all that it took. They left a couple for me and we both were happy.
