Default Epic looting bug

A clanmember of mine paged me the exact following:

Jaylbayt got her epic drop , gem tp and a wep , she picked up the gem tp but looting got interrupted due arena and the wep went to Gofigure's inventory.

This seems like a bug to me. I am not posting this on my behalve but that of Gofigure and Jaylbayt.

Please look into Glitch.

Thank you Noremorse

Why aren't they reporting this "bug"?

Not sure why it matters if they asked someone else to post it on their behalf. Could be a language barrier, Nore may have a better view point in order to explain it properly, they may be uncomfortable or feel (if they are members of his clan) that him being the leader it is his responsibility to do so. Or they didn't really care enough to bother with the report since all 3 toons are controlled by the same person it didn't impact them negatively.

Why does it matter who reports a bug?

I think this is a bug, epic drops should never be given away. And a lot of people on Nod don't use the forums. I get asked to post bugs pretty often.

i dont think this is a bug because i have mentioned similer thing to this , must be a pk/pkk thing because same happens when grouped and kill a pker loot auto loots to group leader , i have never tested with just letting autoloot from mob though . ya i know looting a pker isnt the same i am just trying to point out that it seems the code is set up for any autoloot to go to the group leader .

so ya kinda messed up i agree especialy when its loot from a mob but seems its in the codeing would be nice to try and recreate that with any mob drop by waiting for autoloot and see if still goes to group leader... and just so you know :the group leader is the first toon that invites another to group .

the only time this might not and absolutly should not happen is if the one its dropped for dosnt have the verts because then it would actually be an exploit rather than just a bug or a messed up way for it to be coded.

sorry couldnt help shed much light on this thats just all i have noticed

Yeah it's normal for looting pk's, but when it comes to epic drops that should NOT happen imo. One person earned that epic drop, having it split between both is garbage.

well same can be said for pkk loot as well if a groups involved, just the leader didnt earn it all. but ya thats a bit off topic but i'm thinking the group coding for loot must be similer, maybe it only effects pkers grouped though idk thats what i was trying to say

The only reason this was able to happen was because the intended person had the virtues to trade the epic. It should not be exploitable.

Exploitable, no, but if your friend that you're farming with is some random guy, and he happens to get your epic because you both happen to be on the same team, who's to say he's going to give it back?

Fair enough. Next patch will change autoloot to only work for the intended looter.
