Public Dungeon Achievements- System is broken

Kayira

Today a friend of mine decided to go through the Lion's den vet dungeon to get all the achievements. First we did the main boss and we got both the skill point.
So far so good.
Next we went to the den mother and only 1 of us got the tick for the achievement. For the next boss we decided only I would do dungeon and he would only stun and I got the tick for the achievement. Next we both did damage but he would hit last and he got the tick.
So it went on. This dungeon run clearly showed us that the person that got the last hit gets the boss towards the achievement.

Tell me why should I group up in a public dungeon for bosses if I get nothing towards the achievement if it I get the last hit? In theory we would have needed to run the dungeon twice for both of us to get the achievement. That is absolutely stupid and does not make group play in any way better than tagging along with another group of people.

I am bloody grouping up so we both or more get the achievement and not just one of us.

If this is intended.... No words for that because I can only say that this system is broken and messed up. Everyone in the group should get the boss towards the achievement and not the person lucky enough to get the last hit.

Fix this please because running through a public dungeon and not getting any out of it SUCKS.

You know that you get a skill point from clearing the last boss of a public dungeon, regardless of whether or not you get a little badge for it, right?

That is not the point. The point is the achievement where you have to kill a certain amount of mini bosses and they count towards the Conquerer achievement. I know that the achievement doesn't matter but if you are a completionist it pisses you off.
You are killing the mini boss-together in a group and only one of the people in the group gets it towards the achievement, and that is what is broken. Not the skill point.

I'm sure they're aware of the bug by now, but I'm also pretty sure that they have more pressing things to attend to.

I am sure they do. At least this post will make people aware of this issue and stop them from trying to get dungeon achievements until they have fixed the issue.

I just /bugged this in game. It is an issue as many people like to grind achievements and if they are broken, then there is no point in pursuing them, and this crowd will leave the game.
