I’m talking specifically about the autoloot here. I wasn’t completely sure at first if this was a bug or if it was intended this way but I finally found quote from an Anet dev explicitely mentionning the use of this mastery in WvW.
It says “I can clarify this a bit. If you waypoint away before something dies and it dropped loot, you won’t immediately get it. If you return to the area, you will get the loot as soon as you can see it. It will basically pick up all loot you can see.
The exception is WvW, since loot bags always spawns at your feet. If you waypoint, the loot will spawn at your location and should get immediately picked up.”
It would be nice to have a fix soon. A lot of people are grinding this mastery specifically for WvW because of the frustration of the loot raining next to your dead body in a fight and that you can never pick up if noone is able to revive you.
