I don't fault anybody for attacking my mobs.
You shouldn't, because you don't lose anything by having them attack your mob. It's win win for you, you still get full credit, and you spend less time and resources killing it.
In a real life situation, if someone barges in on whatever I'm doing uninvited, I find that intrusive and offensive. If I were in the gym and someone randomly came over and started helping me lift the weight, I'm not going to be happy because I used less resources lifting the weight and I now have less time to spend in the gym. I'm not getting the experience I need. Likewise, someone showing up and helping me kill a mob that is already easily soloable makes the game quite dull for me, and I don't care that I shaved off a few lousy minutes on the way to the level 50 finish line. So don't act like people are doing me favors.
Furthermore, it's just polite to ask. Do you want to party? Send me a tell. We can go hunt some bigger game so it's fun for both of us. Do you need mobs for a quest or a hunting log? Let me know. I'll move camp, or I'll join up and help if that's what you want. This is an online multiplayer game. I expect people to be as courteous as they would be in real life. Perhaps that is as courteous as they are in real life. As I've said, I'm already being understanding by taking into account the current state of the servers and not getting on people's case about it. So I don't think I'm being unreasonable.
