Some times it is ironic. We had a group of 4 together last night to help Lunar the Ranger kill Luther. It took us 6 tries before she got one. I ended up with 4 heads by the time it was over. We spent the last time with nobody in any group and 3 of us doing nothing but buffing and healing her so she did all the damage herself before she got it. All we could do is just laugh each time she didn't get it.

Unless it's been changed in recent patches, the way loot drops work is that it will go through all group members each getting a piece of loot then whoever has gotten loot least recently will get the drop. for example let's pretend a group has 4 members G1 G2 G3 & G4
G1 gets a drop
G2 gets a drop
G3 gets a drop
next mob drops a helmet and nobody has joined the group since
G4 gets the helmet.
There was a time you could manipulate this a bit if no adds were killed etc during a boss fight and if everyone was very carefully tracking loot drops. Not sure if it's still working the same.

It definately no longer works like that, I mean I have been in a group of 6-7 running thru the zone killing bosses and had 3 straight frags fall to me over a 15-20 minute period with the only thing killed being Crystalmist, Shimmerspell and Falgren. To my knowledge each time something is killed the group is loot is factored, not culmlatively over the life of the group.

Let me be clear, I am not slighting the loot code, it all works fine. And when it come down to it, the game is much more fun than what loot drops. Just noticed a funny phenomena and wanted to know if its valid for a particular reason.

So are you suggesting it should happen another way? Is there a tweak you would like to apply?

So, I've been watching the loot drop and I have yet to see a boss fight where the person added last did not get the drop.
