Hello, I did search the forum and online before posting this but I cannot find any mentioning of this possible bug.

Before the new patch the loot you would get from Champions was only missed out on every 1/5 times, however after the new patch it has changed to an astonishing 4/5 times that you miss out on the loot despite attacking the Champion and not being defeated in the combat.

I would very much like to know if this is only a fluke that it happened to both my party members exactly the same as it did for me today?

Is anyone else having the same problem?

If so it really is a bug that should be fixed, thank you staff in advance and for all your hard work sorting out the other problems.

I can confirm this. I used about 10 skills and 20 auto attacks on a champ today and got no loot, might be connected to the fact that I was playing with a low level character.
Doesn’t happen that often if I play with a level 80. Groups do not always help, it just makes it less worse

carpedemon, to clarify the point I am trying to make it has nothing to do with level because all of my characters are low levels and all of them have suffered because of the new patch and its effect on the loot system in WvW from the Champions. You see before the patch as I said the drops were given 4/5 times and now we only receive drops from the Champions 1/5 times despite the amount of damage we deal or how long we are involved in the combat. Before the patch it was enough to hit the Champion twice and even if you were defeated you still got loot.
Now after testing it twice I believe the size of the train you are in matters as I have found that being part of a train of no more than around 40 gives you drops more often and my question to the staff is how exactly does the system work out loot in WvW with the new patch?
