Will this be addressed/fixed at some point? The issue is that when a very large group kills a champ a lot of people don’t get any loot from the kill. I’ve also noticed that I don’t even get credit for the kill at all — i.e. no progress on champ kills, daily kills, etc.

I know the first typical explanation is that you have to do a certain amount of damage. That’s fair but I’ll do enough damage to get the Gold level reward for the event but I still get no loot and no credit for the kill at all. That doesn’t seem logical. I’ve also noticed that when the group is smaller I’ll get kill credit and drops even if I only get a few shots off but in a large group I can wail on the champ for the entire duration of the kill and get absolutely nothing. So I can get loot and kill with less damage and nothing with more damage. With that the whole “you didn’t do enough damage” argument doesn’t seem to hold water at all.

People say join a group. Being in a group seems to help but this still happens to me quite a bit even if I am in a group. This also makes me wonder if I’m losing kill credit/drops because maybe someone else who otherwise might not have gotten credit happened to be in a better group than me.

Yeah, what can be worse is getting to a fight when enemy is at 20% or so and get even no credit for it, no medal poping up, no loot dropped… that’s frustrating.

It happened to me with a legendary on Silverwastes, when I got close to it there was a reasonably big group and its health was above 20 or 25%, I didn’t get any credit for it.

The argument about damage makes sense but doesn’t seem to be the real case here. I DID enough damage on that fight as far as I’m aware of and no credit or loot given. Lately fighting champs hardly worth it.
