Perhaps this whole bitchfest would have been avoided if the enchanter had simply informed the group that he was zoning to heal the pet and NOT leaving the camp. How was the group suppose to surmise he'd be back (or did he tell them before he zoned). The server rules was made to prevent greedy players of jacking up multiple spawns (mainly enchanters). The rules are pretty clear cut it does not allow for X class to be able to zone from Y camp for ownership. When an enchanter can solo every named mob from dead side + the king (with bind/gate), you need these kind of rules (of sitting in front of a spawn) to make it fair for all groups seeking to claim a camp.
When a group loses a camp, you lose a camp. Making the "deal" in the first place was wrong, if the enchanter had wiped trying to break the room and that group showed up. Do you think the group would have made a "deal" with the enchanter? Please, they would have told his greedy ass to take a hike simply by virtue of the effort it took the group to get there. So in that respect, making a deal was retarded to begin with.
If you are going to make a player agreement, it best be pretty explicit as to how it goes. Zoning out at any time is a pretty significant deal, not because it heals your pet but because an enchanter can lay claim to a different camp by gating (yes i know in this instance it only was for 20sec or so). You cannot however make up new rules to satisfy every single fucking instances. Make them simple, sit your ass down if you want to claim something (it's really not rocket science).
On the issue of efficiency, when you have a group breathing down your neck, zoning out to heal is about the most retarded thing to do. Enchanters can solo fine without the need to gate. Zoning makes it easier and less of a hassle but comes with the risk of losing a camp.
As for decency, the decent thing to do would have been to let the group have the camp. You know, the guys who can't solo the camp and could even get xp. Back in my youth when I was hanging out with my froglok buddies, I made it a point to always give a camp to a full group of people. Especially if they are looking to actually get xp from a camp, I'm sure you can solo the king camp anytime. Just suck it up and move on...
