That's the problem. By your logic, you are not allowed to kill the PH, because it's not your's. By your logic, the only camps that are your's are the ones in which you've killed the previous PH. That translates into no camps, ever, because you can never kill the first mob of a camp (PH or not) to start the cycle because you can never have killed the mob before it.

Now of course obviously the cycle has to start somewhere, and it has to be possible to claim a camp without magically having killed the PH before claiming the camp. Camp claims start when someone claims an unclaimed spawn point. The rules do not say that you need to kill a PH to claim a camp. Hell, they don't even say you need to be next to Hadden's spawn point:

That being said, you can absolutely "camp" mobs, and you cannot steal another players 'camp' ... You do not necessarily need to be at the spawn point to call it 'claimed' while it is uncontested, however, if someone else wishes to contest the 'camp' you do need to return to the 'camp' and maintain a presence at or very near the spawn(s) in order to hold it.
This is not rocket science. If Bob is waiting for Hadden and no one else is, Bob has that camp, even though Bob didn't kill the PH. If Fred shows up and takes Hadden from Bob by out-DPSing, that is a kill steal, plain and simple.
