(This isa repost from the Ranger forum since it is relevent. I would have simply done with with a link, but I'm not certain how)


When harvesting resources from a creature the game seems to consider only one thing: "Was the creature killed by a group". If the answer is yes, it knocks the amount of resources on the creature down %60.


The problem is the game doesn't consider the makeup of the group. This means if you are grouped with a CH pet, a faction pet, a droid, or a player who is not a scout, it makes no difference. I know that when a CH is grouped only with his pets he considers himself "soloing", and rightfully so.


I must admit all of my experimentation has been done solely with CH pets, so I'm just guessing on the others. If someone else could verify the others, that would be nice.


To get the full amount of a harvest from a kill, you must ungroup your pets when you fight. I don't think it matters if you are grouped when you actually loot, it's during the fight that counts.


This really needs to be fixed.
