That's great if that's an equally/more efficient way to grind, however, in most games, it's more efficient to grind as a solo, therefore you'd be losing efficiency grouping up. You'd be basically bullied into grouping, and that's just not right for someone who's trying to min max.

I don't know how grindy this game will be, probably not as much as black desert but I suppose there will still be some grinding involved. With the corruption system in place we can't just kill that guy that comes into our rotation and disrupts it continuously with the goal of kicking you off said grinding spot. How is one supposed to deal with that? I've had a fair share of such encouters and these people were not generally very keen on speaking and being civil about it. How is this issue going to be handled? How can one defend one's grinding spot? Best regards!

They have the same right as you to be there.

That's what someone who would grief someone else who was already grinding there would say No there's no written rule, however there has been a "grind etiquette" that infers that if you were in a spot first then you are entitled to that spot untill someone comes and requests to duel for it, in which case the winner gets the spot. At least it has been that way in the games that I've played.
