[REJECTED] AOE loot doesn't work properly

[gigi44]

WoW Freakz link: -

Bug description: AOE looting doesn't work an all corpses, some of them can't be looted, which is annoying for skinners. But it's even worse while questing and you need a specific quest item from a named mob - if it happens to kill some other mobs while killing the mob you need for the item quest, there's a big chance you won't be able to loot the quest item you need and so you must wait for the wanted mob to respawn and try again ... There was an older post saying this problem was fixed, but guess again - here's the link https://forum.wow-freakz.com/AOE-Looting-t348465.html

Proof: it can be easily verified ingame

AOE loot works.
Please post the NPCs who can't be looted.

Did you even check before u said that? As the OP said when u kill mobs around a mob that's needed for a quest, you cant loot the one for quest so you lose the quest item and have to wait for respawn, happened quite often to me and it's certainly annoying, also it's impossible for skinners

Confirmed. A good example of this is in the Hellfire Ramparts, when you need to loot the "Hand" from the first boss. Since the boss is around some trash, you have to kill all of them at the same time. If you loot a trash mob instead of the actual boss, you wont get the "Hand" which you need to complete the quest.

Another example is the Scarab swarms in dread waste...Even if i aoe kill all the scarabs together, i have to loot them all ONE by One... Clear case AOE looting isnt working perfectly or some bug inhibits its full working...

mai patesti asa la questa din Pearfin Village ,in care trebuie sa iei inima unui mist si daca il omori impreuna cu alti mobi tre sa astepti dupa altul ,nu da lootul

+ i saw group of mobs who were dropping some windwool cloths like 3-7 but when looten on AoE from 10 + mobs it was still the same amount of cloths so i had to kill them one by one

can confirm, it seems like the same loot overwrites, an example is mote of harmony.. its more effective to farm mobs one by one

edit:
an average msp run:


i wouldn't have even gotten 27 windwool if i didn't loot as i killed each mob. the more you kill the lower the rewards
