GM's would take more of a non-douchebaggery approach. For example, if your in LGuk and your camping "Lord"... obviously you aren't just sitting in the lord room killing those 3 mobs.. you would be killing the lord room plus the hallway all the way to the split between AM and Hand, and pretty commonly even including AM and Hand. Now if there is a group that wants to take AM and/or Hand, those can be considered a separate camp and taken by another group, as any dispute on live would have similarily resulted in a 'play nice and share' decision. However, which of these groups lay claim to the mobs in the hallway would be a gray area, and would possibly be FTE by any group camping those 3 spots.

Now if you're camping lord and someone moves into the hallway and sets camp up THERE and starts killing hallway mobs, well that's a douchebag move, which would be handled appropriately.

From a GM's perspective, theres no reason why two groups couldn't be at Lord and AM each.. and share the hallway by whoever pulls the mob first. The Lord group would argue that the hallway should be theirs because AM has the option of pulling from further down towards the safe hall. However, each group's spot connects to that hallway and could have a right to pull those mobs.

This is just one example, and short of defining clear camp spots and what mobs are included in those spots for every single place in the game, you are inevitably going to run into many of these 'gray' areas where two groups feel entitled to pull mobs from the same spot. This is why it is GM Discretion. There's no easy rule that could apply in every situation.
