Small groups vs large group contribution rewards / Reward&loot calculation (for healers)

Tipsy · September 2018

The other day I was participating in the Barathrum Centrata event in center Imperial sewers
with a group of 3 while we met an entire zerg there doing the event.

I completed the event 8 times and only got the achievement for killing the boss and 200 telvar stones once .
Damage dealers did get reward and even a few stonefire scamps.
While I did a lot of healing to the zerg and my own group in the ongoing fights with the bosses and the enemy player,i got next to nothing as reward..
I felt like I wanted to move on,but my group wanted to stay because they got nice loot so I stayed for them.
Maybe revesion reward calculation?
And if reward calculation can't be altered,at least give healers AP for keeping alliance members alive or something.

Don't know what went wrong in your case, but when we've doing molag Bal our healer received the skamp and the skin as a reward, while we were down there. And no, he doesn't do damage.
As far as I know only 12 persons get loot, but it's entirely random who gets it.

In my case I was a warden healer,don't know which class your healer was?
I only healed first 4 times (then switched to the best dps i could ,throwing everything including ultimates on the final boss) ,didn't even know why they wanted to stay there at first. The other 2 in the group were getting rewards I found out then.
So it was not only for safety reasons they wanted to stay there.

it were a lot more than 12 AD players ,think about 40ish and we as group of 3.
If only 12 people get loot it would explain a lot.
Some said it was that only the top dps get the reward
And i'm not sure how the reward calculation works
But it feels like for healers ,their contribution is not rewarded

Only 12 people get the loot. And I'm pretty sure thats 100% random. I used to do it a lot with a few friends, and i would always heal. Yet I would get drops. But you gotta make sure you tag the boss with e.g. a light attack or something.

Edit: If you were 40 people farming Molag, then that's your reason. 12 ppl get loot out of 40. And that's random every time, so you might risk having the same people get loot a second time.

Edit2: Healers also get healing AP, if the people you heal are in combat with players. But you don't get AP if you heal someone in a fight with an NPC, that would just be ridiculous. So healing is highly rewarded in PvP. But if you're 40 people killing the inner event, then don't expect any decent rewards, as you already don't get a lot of TV for it, split that on 40 and well.. RIP rewards.

i switched to throwing everything i had dps-wise on the final boss,saving up my ultimate so I would be be eligible for loot. Didn't work either .So i switched back to solely healing

Find an empty campaign at an odd-hour and do it with 12 people maximum. Then, if you tag the boss with a LA, you'll get the loot.

It was on low population campaign D'Albei ,with one strip for each alliance

Maybe they should let it scale to 24 when x amount of players are there
or to 36 players who get the reward if x amount is contributing
Overall a contribution depending reward system would make a lot more sense if the 12 people max is in place as mentioned
