you should not be pickpocketing mobs that are engaged. end of story.

to do so is to "steal" loot from whomever has claim to the mob, just because you don't gain exp off the theft, does not mean this is not the same as "kill stealing."

edit: also, should you wish to dispute this, then consider this example:

Allizewsaur (level 50) who is typically, as in never, considered an exp mob due to enormous health and possible lvl 20 ph is camped by a Magician farmer. Now, this person is camping this mob solely for $$ drops, and is "camping" it by the rule book.

Please justify (by the book) pickpocketing this mob as the Magician kills it.
