Trying to claim entire zone

[AgentEpilot]

Me and a buddy wanted to just duo literally 2 of the spawns in a tucked away corner in MM. We immediately get threatened with petitions and other nonsense from a group pulling everything all the way up to the canyon.

Is this normal? Like I was at the forest giant fort with a group and we had no problem sharing, is this some unspoken rule that a group can be somewhere in a zone with tons of mobs and just claim them all? I get clear cut camps being called, and would never try to pull some crap with that, but that zone is large, and it seems like one group can just perma lock all the mobs there.

Any tips/advice. Or do I need to attend the P99 Camp Lawschool and pass the poopsockbar?
