The following is hypothetical to our Qeynos Hills example (I did not remain to watch). Skelly spawns, aggros pet, pet kills skellly. Clearly, pet is FTE, and has done so in a reasonable amount of time. But does this count as a "you" for purposes of the camp rules linked above? Assume the player is not afk but indeed running in game errands.

I'm not a staff member and can't speak for them, but at that point I
think that player is likely in violation of a different part of the
Play Nice Policy:

3. You may not kill NPC's while you are not at your PC.
It is against the rules to "afk camp" any NPC or groups of NPC's by placing a pet nearby and letting it kill while you are away from your computer. Any other form of "afk camping", such as faction killing, is also against the rules, and you may be subject to disciplinary action.
In addition to this rule, and further explained in section 5, you may not Forage items using any automated program (hardware or software).

And to the rules lawyers: yes it says "at your PC", and technically someone who parks their pet somewhere while they run errands
is "at their PC" ... but it also says "Any other form ... is also against the rules."
Even if it didn't, the GMs are the ultimate authorities regardless, so what really matters is "would they be ok with it?"
Practically speaking, it'd be nearly impossible for someone to even catch them doing it if they don't go far to run their errands ... but if they go far enough to get caught, I'd
think that'd be far enough away that a staff member would consider it "AFK camping".
