I didn't see anything in the patch notes about fixing this. Anyone in game care to let us know if it has been addressed?

Just to throw out a possibility:
Has anyone checked whether the "/group" commands are back and can be toggled on/off? I seem to remember a publish way back (late last year) that either disabled or locked those options, it's possible that it was brought back but with the item notification is defaulted to off. See if the group leader can either do "/group notify items on", or use the "/group menu" dialog to change it. Incap/death notification of group members is another option in that menu.
Granted, that would still leave the possibility of ninja looting if you have an unscrupulous leader (the reason the command was disabled, IIRC), but might provide a workaround.

Nothing new of course...was out hunting krayt last night and had to refuse to group with people as I didnt know them, thus didnt trust them. Its not nice to do that, and is killing this major part of the game for me.
Then again this has been going on for 2-3 months now so I guess the devs dont care.
Yup...it kills grouping with anyone you don't know.

I for one would like to see this on-screen message come back, because when hunting Elders or high level NPC's with grouped players people always spam /loot and jus pretends that they got a base lance or whatever. Also the the way inventory is organised lately is not handy for checking what you looted.

we decided that only one would loot . but low and behold someone else looted 2 elders . then we decided to disband the group and regroup only the ones we have known for a while and allways hunted with.......

/agree
The reason I think it got removed in the first place (lol as I was quoted earlier as saying) was because it was more of an annoyance for the solo groupers (ie: someone is harvesting 15 critters per lair, you have 5 or 6 people close doing this= system message spam). But since the devs have clearly shown they do not approve of solo groupists (ummmm, or non-crafters/scouts/loot-campers) being able to make any reasonable amount of credits without having to give up lives and jobs to do so, I say bring back the group-loot message- at least in a way that it can be implemented by a group leader or something. This should not be an issue at all- yes, it may not be the most important fix in the game- BUT- it should be easy to code back in since it was there before anyways, and then removed, and it does help keep track of who loots what. Surea lot of people in this game are honest but, some are not, and at least this allows those of us who choose to group a way of keeping some sort of 'no lie' tab on our group membersespecially since a lot of us do go hunting with newbies, or even new members to our guilds.
Bring it back-----please
