All members in a party need to be given achievement credit on boss kills

I don't know what it's like in the real 4 player dungeons, or open world boss mob kills, but playing through Crow's Wood with a party only 1 person got credit towards the achievement for killing the boss mobs in there every time we killed one, and it seemed to be whoever hit it first. So we had to wait for spawns and cycle through a few times. This should never be the case - all members of the party should be given credit.

    That sounds incredibly strange and I almost feel like it's a bug...
    But if it isn't... that needs to be changed, yeah. That's absurd.

    Odd, I've helped on several bosses and gotten the achievment without landing the last blow.

    Note that we got credit on the quest bosses, and the final "group challenge" boss. But for the optional 5 bosses had to each get 1 at a time in our group.

    It must be bugged then and only working as intended sometimes.

    Yeah Crow's Wood is so bugged, ive spent 2 days in there trying to get achivments and as i've only managed to get half the achivments (through the killing blow). Ive bugged it, and hope it gets fixed soon, because with the insane respawn timers on the "bosses" in there its a pain in the arse to finnaly have it spawn, and seeing some random bystander getting the killing blow and then just run of again.

    yeh that sounds odd, not played crows in a group.. i was one of those random bystanders.. but in fungal cave, we all got the credit, I was healing.. I didn't even land a blow.

    I'd actually like this extended to all group activity.. so long as the members are in a dungeon/cave or within a relative area. It's a real pain that every person has to check each and every link in the quest.. why can't the guy at the front do it and it checks that link for everyone else...? it's abit... narrow minded.. imo. I think each member of group should still be able to click a link if only to read the dialogue.. but to be forced.. it's a tad annoying.

    I had this also in Crow's Wood I sent in a bug report about it. It is the only place this happens in so far for me. I guess its because its a new dungeon they added to help people get to level 10 due to letting them skip the starter islands.
    I have noticed some of this new content is bugged because it was not fully tested due to the late point in development it was added to the game.

    I've simply been near a boss when it was killed and received an achievement, obviously a bug, since MMOs are designed around social play, parties receiving achievements as a whole would be one of the first things you programmed in for them.
