No Xp for groups with a-holes for teammates?

Q u o t e:
So apparently the way it works now is that if you die and youre not near the boss when you do so, you get no xp or loot.... so if I die and the bosss is close enough to dead that my team can handle it by himself and still drag the boss far enough away to make me not get any loot or xp, and hes too much of an ***hat to come and res me for just that reason... im screwed. thats basically what youre telling us?

Your party member isn't going to get any additional rewards or loot if she kills the boss while you're dead. In fact, it'd be more beneficial for her if you were alive, as something might drop for you she wants. If she kills the boss alone, she gets loot for one person. If you kill the boss together, you each get loot for one person, slightly increasing the odds something good will drop for one or both of you. If you're a good sport and share drops you can't use, but she can, then you're encouraging teamwork and fair play.

If your party member is going to make sure you stay dead, it'd be for no other reason beyond causing you grief -- like I said, this person won't benefit at all from you being dead. In that case, this isn't a person you should continue to group with.
