I agree with what you're saying, but there is still a limit to "rep stealing".

No one owns enemies, true. Quests send you to kill enemies, again, true. However, if a player is there to level, and there are multiple enemies of that kind there (which is always the case - excluding bosses), taking rep from that player to complete your quest is the right thing to do?

The real problem with "rep stealing", at least to me is, everyone that "rep steals" is either on a quest, or too low of a level to kill the enemy alone. If that is truly the case, asking for help makes more sense than taking someones rep, just so you can finish.

That being said.. there are some things that really have no reason concerning this. Such as, if you're on Padres, or Tormenta (or anywhere with high levels), and a player who is level 10 and lower comes (that isn't a "newb") and starts attacking.. well, I don't see the point there at all.

This is just my view on the matter, but there's really no "right" way to view this.
