Look at this from the shaman's perspective: He calls CC, gets no response for this camp, starts killing the mob, and at 50% in someone runs in, charms it, trains him, then takes the loot.
Yeah that wasn't lost on me but you get there around when mob was due to pop and someone is killing your mob that's annoying AF.

But zone dynamic is half the time people don't answer CC because everyone is AFK, if not straight up logging between kills, also people fight or suicide stuff and answer later so a not immediate CC answer doesn't mean much I realized. Finding a named and realizing it is claimed is part of the deal. You could make a CC and then kill what isnt claimed but you'll get into fights all the time.

You were clearly killstealing since the shaman had already engaged and gotten it down to 50%.
Between CC answer and the time to get down there on top of not immediately realizing it has been pulled it was at 50%. He couldn't have been engaged for that long. PNP says "longest definition of "reasonable amount of time". I don't feel like it was unreasonable absence but it is up to interpretation.

You left the zone, were afk long enough to grab a drink, and the mob was up. It was no longer your camp.
yeah this is the point where I feel I messed up.

You charmed his mob, sent it at a far away mob, then gated out. Sure seems like you intentionally trained him.

This is the moment where you had to choose between escalation and de-escalation. De-escalation would have been saying "hey I was camping that" and waiting until he finished the kill to talk it over. Escalation is charming the mob mid-fight.
I called it coming down and when I got there I told him I was camping it and I was getting no answer until he gated out. In retrospect I should just have invited him but I took a wrong snap decision.

I get that Chardok has a relaxed unofficial player agreement, but if you stayed in zone and stayed on top of spawns you wouldn't have ended up in this kerfuffle. If your excuse was "I wasn't in zone when they called for CC" I don't think that's gonna cut it.
Knowing people gate out all the time due to zone dynamics and it is deemed legal, I don't feel that is a strong argument. I often gate out, jboots immediately and run in to realize I missed a CC.
