Farming by leaving zone?

[Naethyn]

This is my understanding:

1. Outdoors you can only claim one single spawn point.
2. Indoors you can claim multiple spawn points within line of sight.
3. You must already be in the zone when it spawns.
4. You must engage a spawn within 30 seconds.
5. You are not required to remain in the zone if the spawn is not up.
6. Specific camps can have alternate well known rulings.
7. If a player has more than 4 mobs aggroed you may take mobs off of them. (bard kite)
8. If a mob spawned as a result of a quest or event you have 20 minutes to engage it. (cleric epic, aow)

I was told by a GM very recently that you have to
(this is all if the matter goes to petition, and the ruling from the GMs would be as such)

a) keep the camp clear (if its a multi spawn camp) and
b) maintain a constant presence at the camp

if either of those criteria is not met, someone can set up shop at your camp, and if they can clear it, they can claim it

i was halfway done breaking into a camp during xp weekend, and someone leapfrogged and claimed the camp. GM said that they were allowed to do that, as we had not "established a clear presence" at the camp yet. then GM explained those two criteria for a "clear presence" at a camp. (indoor zone)

Yeah leapfrogging is pretty common (and shitty) tactic. Especially in Sebilis.
