So, if you are there by yourself grinding a group of mobs it's fine, but if someone else shows up to do the same it's griefing? No.
This is not a single player RPG. The mobs are not yours. You have to share the zones and popular grinding spots with everyone else. If someone else shows up, either keep on grinding for reduced XP or find another spot.

If that doesn't work deal or log and try again later. Having multiple characters might help.

I've seen posts like these a hundred times on this forum. Someone stole my mobs, someone keeps killing this boss, someone stole my ore node while I was fighting the mobs around it, etc....
Long story short, anonymity does not lend itself to civility or courtesy.
It is still really damn annoying if you pull 3 or 4 to aoe down and someone comes and drops aoes on your pile or worse, pulls them off of you while you are clumping them up.
The big problems are two-fold: ZoS making you hate other players for ruining your efficiency, and people having no f*cks to give for other people's quality of life.

I've had people grinding yell at me for killing the mobs that I need to finish a quest. While I've certainly run into some courteous grinders, who have politely asked me if I could go somewhere else (in which case, I usually do), most of the time I just get whispers akin to "STOP KILLING MY MOBS!!!!!", in which case I usually stick around longer than I normally would and politely tell them where they can shove those mobs.
When leveling I usually just do solo questing, but when I find a spot with a lot of mobs that respawn pretty quickly, I'll stick around for a while and grind them. But then I run into someone who thinks they have more of a right than I do to kill mobs in the game, and it just kinda makes me chuckle.

Yes, the xp set up sucks, but you are no more entitled to any mob than anyone else is in Tamriel
