I've heard this a few times that this is whats meant to happen, yet a lot of the time I go in a Boss Instance items always drop for a Career that isn't in the instance, and since they are Bind on Pickup they become sell loot and completely waist the time spent killing the boss/the lockout time for the group.

So what I want to know:

Is this whats meant to happen?
Why hasn't this been fixed yet if it isn't?

probably because its a fairly small issue. annoying sure but on the whole, fairly small looking at the other bugs.
Uhm no, it's not fairly small, in fact for many it's the 2nd most annoying thing that needs fixing.

No 1 is a stable functioning, balanced campaign system.

how about:

subscriptions..

flashy websites

lag

ctds

bad support

bad open rvr (due several reasons)

only 3 scenes over and over

no group friendly pve

low server population

thus clusters

class imbalances..

class bugs

etc etc etc etc

while i agree client stability, lag etc (things that have a severe impact on playing) are much more important, the issue nate mentions wouldnt take a terrible lot of fixing (relatively)

Perhaps you tell us where you heard that only the classes in an instance would be on the loot list for drops?

I've certainly never heard of it, I'm pretty sure this would've been a higher priority fix if it was the intended behaviour - but I seriously doubt it is!

very unlikely to happen. The longer it takes someone to get a certain item, the longer they'll play'n'pay.

IMO altho this is frustrating i think its a good idea. that way Instances like Bastion Stair will be used more frequently as ppl will need to farm it for the set peaces for higher instances. if they was all sellable on AH then wouldnt be long before farmers abuse it farm it constant and ell the items.

with the instances being 24 hr delay before u can kill boss again tho and no guarentee drop for your class. IMO they should removethe 24 hr pop and maybe change it to 30-60 mins (with items staying bind on equip)

Salvagers can salvage the drops that can't be used by anyone, and they are needed to make purple fragments so talisman makers can make permanent talismans. This of course requires a salvager to be present in the group that does that boss. Much like enchanters in "that other game".
