So the guys in the right place at the right time were selfish douchebags, but the guy who wanted an item so bad he was willing to wait on one mob for 24 hours is the unselfish, non-loot-greedy victim here?

Seriously, stop and think about what "camping" means. Rilen (presumably) answered "AC" to every camp check. What does that mean? For an ENTIRE DAY, Rilen told everyone who wanted Jboots, "No. You cannot kill this mob. Only I can." That's not selfish to you?

Everyone who has ever camped anything, ever, is technically selfish. They are monopolizing a spawn/item at everyone else's expense. Some people are worse about it than others, but it's a part of this game.

DISCLAIMER: I have no problem with Rilen, or his camping, or anyone else choosing to camp anything. I do not use the word "selfish" to describe this behavior. People do not play this game solely to help other people get lewt or levels. There is an inherent selfishness to Everquest. It happens. I'm okay with it.
