This happened to a group member who died in vMOS HM who was more than (I guess 28m) from the final boss when it was killed. They could not loot the boss, so couldnt get a motif or helm. Is this really how the game is designed? The person was in the arena, had done all the mechanics, the whole dungeon and died but can not loot? I heard that this happens in other content as well but I had never experienced this.
Additionally how about doing something about the stranglers that can grab you twice even if they were killed and disappear you can still be grabbed back.
