Need a ruling

[Xer0]

Folks are right, since hte mob was already spawned and you had to wait an undesignated amount of time before downing it, while a total dick move (I'd like to know the guy who pulled the stunt, so I can refuse him ports/rez's int he future [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] ) it was claimable by this guy per the server rules.

But there is a caveat to what people are saying. Just because it's an outdoor zone and a wandering mob does not mean you can't claim it. The catch is that when it spawns you have to engage it quickly. No sitting on it forever. So the thing to do would have your friend camp it with you.

Per the Play nice Policy:

Open Outdoor Zones can be anything from Western Wastes, Karanas or West Commons. There are no staff recognized camps for this zone type outside of single spawn points. Examples of single spawn types might be Ocean of Tears Ancient Cyclops, Iceclad Ocean Stormfeather, or Qeynos Hills Hadden. Though, any single spawn point can be claimed, that is the only spawn you can hunt (if being contested). If you are to claim this point you must get aggro/First to Encounter (FTE) within a reasonable amount of time.

Next time, if your friend can't/won't camp it with you.. I would recommend like snaring the mob and kiting it around til your friend shows up. This way you have aggro'd and engaged it and no one else can rightfully claim.

You can't kite indefinitely either, if your kiting it for more than 5 minutes someone is allowed to engage
