Rule Clarification

[Troxx]

Names have been expunged as my only goal here is to clarify existing rules as the individual I had a disagreement insisted that the rules were different than what I have always understood to be case. Even gender cons (bolded) made gender neutral to keep this non-inflammatory. Following this episode we have a long conversation that ended politely - we are both seeking an answer to this question.

Quick back story: I'm in the Ocean of Tears (salty, salty tears) doing seafuries. Island is crowded, so I'm up top at the 6:36 spawn that doesn't roam and tagging the tree spawn every with each spawn cycle. Top mob spawned and I'm floating just up the hill waiting for the next when someone else wanders up and sits down near that spawn about 45 seconds before this mob spawns. I cast AC buff on pet, then run down to AC buff myself while sitting beside what I had been pulling. I move down to sit closer.

I have fast fingers, first to stand and melee hit, mob attacks me first eating some of my rune. I power through and do get the kill. Stingy bastard drops

Regarding this specific circumstance, it's irrelevant as for the last 7-8 cycles I'd been killing both. A claim of 'camping' something I was keeping down was made while I was twiddling my thumbs waiting for the spawn. I'm fine sharing when the island is crowded - this didn't play out well initially though. It's the first dispute I've had here because I understand that it's more or less the wild wild west with few governing rules other than don't kill something that is already engaged.

Last GM response I could find was consistent with my understanding of how this island has worked for years:

That island is FTE. If you are KSd, petition. Encounter logs are easy to look up. As Loramin said, I've been out there quite a bit the past few weeks. If nobody responds right away, just be patient. Your petition stays in the que until one of us responds and/or clears it.

Outdoor zones historically are FTE with the exception of static mobs that do not wander. Regarding this area of this zone, it breaks from traditional norms as even the one static and non-wandering mob historically has been FTE.

Is the island strictly FTE? Are certain mobs 'campable'?

I'm looking for clarification.
