While on the normal Arsha server doing Dehkia's lantern in Hystrisa, I have had two instances of different players come by and kill me.  I understand that it's a pvp server and i'm not upset about being killed, what bothers me is that both times they came in killed me, over and over with the intention of keeping me down while they kill my mobs! In essences they were trying to do Dehkia's lantern for free. In both cases, once i was able to rez and turn off the lantern they ran away. They weren't interested in fighting for the spot to grind, they were just trying to do it for free. To me that is an exploit. I'm spending a resource to start and keep the lantern running and they are killing and looting my mobs. Yes i understand its a pvp server but when you are trying to farm for the elten compass piece, every bit of drop rate helps. So my question is, is this an exploit or is it the way its suppose to be? Suggestion would be that if you are killed in pvp, the lantern shuts off automatically.

Seems reasonable.  Open a trouble ticket and reference this thread stating you believe it is an exploit.

Agree. I wouldn't bet on it being an exploit, but I guess it may deserve a clear answer so you can choose what to do accordingly.

How far has this game fallen that people call being killed for a resource an exploit? Don't grind on arsha if you can't defend your spot.

Shhhh... Don't be so affirmative, you may hurt feelings and be banned for disruptive use of these forums. 

Dekia lantern spawns need to be treated like dark rift boss's, they are only killable by the person who has a active lantern or are in their group.

not an exploit the lantern can be cancelled anytime even while dead. Please stop entertaining this idea.

No, It can not! If you could, i would have never made this thread.
