Well, according to the official rules it's only KSing if the other person
engaged the mob first. Attacking a mezzed, snared, or rooted mob that you
did not engage first is KSing (if you get the kill). Sometimes it gets into
gray areas. For instance if a mob comes and attacks you after someone else
aggrod it and the people who were originally attacking it don't come to get
it or help you and you have to kill it to defend yourself then it's not
KSing as the mob is considered abandoned.
Some people still do camp checks. If you camp a spot for a long time people
can still come in and kill a mob that you are waiting for and the GMs can't
do anything about it bc it's not against the rules. The reason for these
rules is bc it's too difficult to figure out who was camping a spot first.
The only time I have moved in on a camp that someone else was at was when a
lvl 65 was claiming the entire undead section of lower guk and I wanted to
hunt there for xp. My group moved into one room and the jerk tried to pull
mobs that we were already fighting. (he started pulling the entire dungeon
over other people and then killing them).

I think you're right about KS'ing, I may add if someone looks like they
are waiting for a spawn, and you find out they are, taking it would be a
KS IMHO. I haven't played in a while, do people still do camp checks
when they enter a zone?

what can you do when it does
I personally don't think you did anything wrong..you basically
pulled for camp 1 even though you did not mean to and all the group did
was let you get pounded so you ran off to save your life which is what I
would of done in that situation. That group might of all been afk
(doubt it) and when they got back on they thought that you trained them
on purpose...but anyway if all their gonna do in the game is cause you
problems then they are all immature and don't have much of a life. If
it happens again you should take a screen shot of what they said and
tell a gm about it..if he asks for the proof then you have it all right
there...it'll take like a week to get a response back but thats the only
sure way to take care of this problem...that or either ignore them.
This kind of thing happened to me in Echo Caverns..I was wondering
around looking for a spot to solo when this needlite comes out and
attacks me from behind. I see a group of 3 people nearby in the
needlite camp and I tell them I have a mob for you guys but all they did
was sit there.they had no mobs in their area. I tell them again but I
still get no response. By this time I lost about 2 bubs of health so I
said screw it and killed it off. Later I get a shout telling everyone
in the zone I am a KSer..now let me get this right isn't KSing killing a
mob that someone else is already fighting? Or am I wrong?
