That's always a contentious issue anywhere there is multi-way combat/resource extraction. As a social network, it seems like normal etiquette should apply; however, the programmers really can't assume that everyone will share a common definition of "normal etiquette," so they try to balance the game as though people will just walk up and join in at any time (this game is also particularly keen creating the perception that it's always the more is the merrier).
