but at the same time they do say AFK camping is frowned upon

"Afk camping" is when your pet kills mobs while you are afk. It is not what is being discussed in this thread. I understand the terminoligy can be confusing, but the GMs have confirmed that having your pet kill mobs while you afk is what is being refered to in the "camps defined" thread.
They have also said you can be AFK while camping and it is with in the rules. The Paw ring in befallen was used as an example. If you are sitting in the room AFK then coming back to the computer right before the timed mob pops. As long as you kill it "shortly" (which not been defined) you are with in the rules. If you leave the area in between "timers" and return just as the mob has poped but find another player waiting, you have lost your camp. Basically your toon has to be sitting in the room, but you do not have to be sitting at the comp during the waiting to pop period. GM's have also stated you are NEVER required to respond to any tell or CC about your camp, although its a great idea to help avoid disputes.

I think that if you show up to a long spawn and someone is there, they should need to respond to you within 15-20 minutes or so to keep the camp. It isn't fair to park a character in the morning, leave the house, and then come back 7 hours and 55 minutes later to scoop up the kill, and you should expect to have your camp stolen in those circumstances.

I disagree - I feel if a toon is parked at a Camp, you should move on. It is fair to leave a toon parked in an area, you have no idea if they have left the house or simply taking a killer dump. If a toon is sitting where you want to be simply move on, it would be great if they could let you know when they are done but they are not obligated to. If you want to wait because you think they are terminally afk so be it. If the mob pops and they are AFK and thus do not kill it "shorlty" i would think that mob is free game for you to kill. I would be careful as shortly is not defined it will be easy to be accused of KSing. IMO 2 min is shortly, but my opinion means nothing.
Those are my thoughts, but it would be great if we could get a GM to weigh in.
