Permafrost Bear pits camp question

[kaluppo]

Here is what happened. I bound my 56 Druid in the upper bear pits. I zoned in late at night and both upper and lower pits were fully popped and unclaimed. I prefer upper pits so I started charm killing. I know there are videos where other Druids show how to kill 3-6 mobs at the same time but at 56 I feel far more comfortable just doing two mobs at a time (one pet vs non-pet and root/rotting both when my pet is near death).

I can clear the entire camp in 12-15 minutes allowing me just enough time to med up before re-pops. Cool.

Another player zoned in and took the lower pits. Also, cool. He decimated the lower pits in record time and then came up and killed the mobs in the upper pits that I hadn't gotten to yet. It ended up where I was getting 4 mobs per round and he was taking the rest.

Is he allowed to do that? Are the upper/lower pits recognized as legit camps or are they FTE?
