They can't do that. By the Camp Rules if you leave the zone you automatically lose your camp.

If it was a very brief link death people will usually let you have it back, but they are not obligated to, and certainly if you leave for any extended period of time you can't even expect even the most polite players to give the camp back.

TLDR; If you're certain that you're the only one camping the mob in the zone with you, then no one can possibly enter the zone and take that camp (unless you leave).

However, I should note that the GMs (to my knowledge) have never explicitly addressed camping something you didn't kill previously. It's generally assumed that the rules work the same on a "first come, first serve" basis ... but AFAIK they've never actually said that.

As far as what's explicitly been said, I think every mob is technically FTE unless someone has killed it previously. All the GM rulings have been about "I was camping X and Bob came along ..." not "I was waiting for X to spawn, having never killed it before, and Bob showed up ..."

In practice if you've been waiting for a mob for awhile and someone shows up and takes it, I think you could successfully petition ... I just don't know of any GMs posting in the forums saying as much.
