The official rules (Play Nice Policies) basically don't address charming, and in fact those rules don't let you "own a mob" ... you can only own a "spawn point". To "own that point", you have to be the last person to kill a mob that spawned from that point.

As long as you didn't charm a mob that someone had recently killed, by my elf lawyering you are 100% in the clear, both in "elf law", and in "common law" (I think 95+% of players would agree what you did was fine).

However, I would like to take this opportunity to point out one asshole thing I see charmers do sometimes, that is (per my reading anyway) a violation of the rules: please do not release your pet somewhere that will make it wander back on someone else's fight!

This happens in PoM a lot: a Druid will charm an animal from A1, bring it to A4 for a fight, and then release it in A4 ... causing it to path back through A4-A1 ... and effectively training anyone else fighting at A4-A1,

THINK about where your pet is going to go after you release them, and if they will train someone DON'T DO IT! It's the same as purposefully training them in any other way, at least in my book.
