Honestly and I'm not being facetious - why is this the rule of thumb ?

With how busy green has been since I started, this seems backwards to me..

I feel like your last paragraph exemplifies that 'screw everyone but me' attitude that causes more lawyer questing than anything else
For example you're camping Frenzy and Sentinel. You're there all day bouncing between the two. Then the zone fills up and someone comes to your area. You are currently clearing the Sentinel. Frenzy pops. You run over to Frenzy and your new guy is getting ready to clear it. You explain to him that Frenzy and Sentinel are both yours and that you're willing to give him Sentinel. He says you weren't there at the moment Frenzy popped and he was. You tell him you have some time to engage before the camp is FTE and he says well you have to be in LOS of the camp and he didn't see you. So who is right?

The rule of thumb is if you get to a camp and it's fully popped and someone gets there like 10 seconds later and says it's their camp, then it's their camp, even if they weren't in sight. This is to prevent lawyer-questing and measuring pixels and wasting lots of time. Adhere to general principles rather than specific points of law and in enough time the reason will be clear.

It's always a good idea to announce a claim over /ooc and wait for replies.
