Yes i came across this same situation last night , but not even on a rare mob! I was finishing up a bunch of left over lowbie quests (specifically the one Velpo gives you in Temple Street) where you have to kill orc exiles in the ruins. So I run up and there are none there , which immediately tells me someone just wiped em . So i stand there and then when one pops i get this little prick telling me " hey man those were mine , i been camping em for my quest for 20 mins now !"
I politely tell him that i need them for a quest as well and we will just have to share the spawns . I get told " Im a Dark Elf I dont share crap !" . So at this point i realize he must be playing on mommies computer and is just a little kid . So we go back and forth for a little bit , I have to admit it was fun making him mad .
Let me rephrase this for you. "I got to the mobs I needed, but there were none up so they were obviously being camped. But I'm too cool to come back later, so I told the guy that he had to share with me".
This, at least in the old EQ1 days, would make you a total prick and give you a bad reputation if you did it regularly.
Right off, you admit that someone was quite obviously camping them.
So, he's keeping all the spawns clear and yet you decide you are more important than him, and he should just have to slow down his quest completion to accomodate you.
And he's the prick?
Now, I don't get mad about this sort of thing anymore, I just accept that people are like this, that they think of other people as toons and not as real people. But don't try and equate the two situations please.
