Last night, I was hunting Sacred Boars. Lets just say someone went for a run into a "large" mob group and I ended up with quite a few on me. Well after killing two, I ran a couple into the water for a little relief. I would like to apologize to the team of TWO that were there to witness, and did voice their opinion on my choice of mob suicide :palm: :booboo::sorry: I wish you luck and great loot.
lol I wasn't there but I know people get very upset about what they see as the potential loss of a big loot on a mob. MA support clairified a long time ago that loot is 'decided' at the time a mob is actually looted, not before, at least that is what I remember, but not gonna go research old forums again now for that answer. I'm sure others can correct me on that with a link to the info if needed. Stuff like that just happens, we have all done it at times, and it was your choice not to stand there and take decay on your armor because someone pulled mobs onto you, something I can relate to :). At least you didn't hop in your dune buggy and round up all the mobs you could find to pull onto those hunting and cause them to take decay, die and interrupt the hunt etc, as some guy did at skeletons yesterday. Don't beat yourself up, you sound like a nice guy.
If they bitch and you were beyond your capacity to handle more than two sacred boars. Either tell them to put up or shut up or relieve you of the extra two boars. It's simple, if they want the prospect of the loot then take the responsibility and get the other two off him, don't bitch after the fact. Yes, Lee is correct about what MindArk has said about the loot, it makes no difference if you drown them or not, it's where you stand, where your skills are and attributes, there are a lot of different variables involved in the loot process, this too is true with your team mates (if you have a team), they affect the loot too if they skills are stuck. Since you weren't the one that caused the problem about the boars being off-loaded onto you, I don't see a problem with this, Rufwon.
They really need to go back to the old AI when the mob stays with the person who pissed them off instead of going awry and attacking an unrelated person or party like they do now and have for quite awhile.
