I had something similar happen in the same zone (although I wasn't banned). The GM explained it to me that the basement isn't really a camp, it's actually like 3 different camps or something to that effect. I think if I remember correctly my group had been clearing the basement when a high level magician snuck ahead of us and took the dude at the end who drops Dwarven Work boots. We found out that he could technically do that since it's a separate camp.
This is also why I'm not really a fan of the PNP though. Particularly in a zone like Lower Guk, which is one of the most rich leveling experiences you can have in EQ when your group is allowed to roam around killing numerous named mobs and all of the adds in between. I feel like the zone has a 28 minute respawn timer because that was the intention when it was designed.
