In this example I had been doing both spawns. Hilltop was down and I was just floating above tree spawn sitting/waiting when a second party arrived and just decided to sit closer to what I was already waiting on. As I said, for this instance the whole argument is irrelevant as you can't claim something that someone else has been clearing and is literally sitting there waiting to spawn. A traditional camp dispute, as pointed out by Sam early on in this thread starts with the decision on the part of the original camper to commit to one spawn and voluntarily relinquish the other. Point is a full discussion takes place between vying parties (and not seconds before it spawns) before the newly arrived party just considers it their camp as they are sitting closest. As with this case, time stamps just demonstrate an attempt to kill a mob already enganged (albeit about a 1 second difference in who aggro'd first. This scenario ended well. 2 petitions went in with mine specifically requesting no punishment or official warning should the other party be at fault - I just wanted clarification. Afterwards we talked it out well and moved on but were both left wondering what the real rule for the area is.
I'm aware of how camp disputes work in general, I and others have simply seen a longstanding track record of no mob on the island is 'campable' and the whole place is FTE. If it's deemed that spawns (single) can be camped then great. If not - that's fine too. I just want to make sure the rules aren't vague. In the case of 'XXXX' - that person felt justified in trying to out dps me. I don't want the XXXX's out there to get in trouble for trying to defend what they feel is right - nor do I want the "me's" that find themselves in my situation to get in trouble because the status quo has always been FTE - only to learn after the fact that mobs can be camped and they just snagged a mob that was claimed.
Both of us just want to know the rules and expectations so as to not violate said rules.
-Is the island all FTE?
-Are single spawns campable on seafury island?
-If single spawns are campable are you limited to claiming just one (I suspect yes)?
-If limited to camping just one, do you void your claim to that one camp if you run off to pull another mob (or mobs) but are back to your 'camp' in time to engage by the time it spawns again?
