Yes it is another whining thread :D
What do you think about users who are higher than your lvl and finishing your mobs. Or party that do not ask if you want lvl with them just hit your mob and run. And the best: Conj who walk with you and wait for one arcane, no healing no mana just arcane.
It is happen quite often to me, and i do not know what is going on. 2-3 moths ago it was normal to ask: Do you want to lvl with me? And now it is just hit and run.
Sorry for my english.

It's called kill stealing and it's one of the things the 10% rule was supposed to prevent, but it doesn't, even in warzone.
I find that most often it is Knights that do this because they are so desparate for experience.
Today i had a knight with conj.... but it is not class dependant. And the worst is that they are high or mid lvls.
I don't know... It depends I guess, some people will do it when they think the mob is about to kill you. These people mean well. If you are leveling in the same area, some people might do it to see if you want to party with them (I have seen several of these in the past) and the language disparity may be preventing them from simply asking you. There are probably also some people who do that just to annoy the heck out of you or to show of their high level powers.

I do not belive in that. They do not have problems with asking about my lvl, pet, bow or tracking. And leveamos is one of the first holas ;] word in this game. And there is party icon.

Well. I mostly look for the behavior of others. If they stay clear of my mobs, ill stay clear of theires. As conjurer i normally put in one or two healings or manaboostings when i think they will be wanted. I often put a regen ally on lowbee's too, jsut because i can and its my job as conju, even if they fight mobs that are unchallenging for me.
If you dont want me, shush me away :), ill go, i promise.
Stealing kills is more or less impossible for my chars (hunter/conju) just because i dont deal huge loads of damage. The more score 10% the more grpXp will drop, so all benefit.

Well... Hmm. If I think somebody is about to get their ass kicked by a mob, I will hang around and watch to see how they do before deciding whether to finish it for them (and potentially save their butts). With my conj, I'll hang around and make sure a warlock isn't gonna life drain before healing him...
So far as people joining in on mobs uninvited, I think it's rude, but I've long since stopped complaining. Leveling is hell for me and anything that speeds it up is welcome.
Except warjurers. If I run into a conj that comes up and starts attacking instead of healing/buffing/giving mana to me (who is generally in desperate need of it)... Grrr, this is when I wish we could pk realmmates.

Personally, I think it's rude and obnoxious. However, there's absolutely nothing you can do to stop it so try to let it slide. I'll step in and kill if the guy looks like he's in trouble. Even then, if I'm playing my conju at the time I'll heal and/or buff and let him do the rest. In regards to knights needing the XP so badly, if I'm online I'm happy to help if I can as a conju.
