simple addition to the tips...

on the loading screen.

boring but brief back story: I did Crucible of Carnage on my priest, the tank died on the werewolf and hit release, ran back to his corpse, and we finished it. We did the werewolf fight again, the tank died again and he hit release again... We did the next fight and disbanded, and the tank whispered me with an obscenity because we didn't do the werewolf fight a third time for him.

It occurred to me, that even though this guy was far from, uh, "the brightest crayon in the box", the whole "DO NOT HIT RELEASE WHEN DEAD" rule is something that most of us had to learn the hard way.

So maybe put in the loading screen tips, something like "if you die and click release, you will be ineligible for any quest credit or item drops from anything killed by your group". Maybe there is a warning like that somewhere in WoW, but I for one never saw one, so maybe this could spare someone else the grief of having to learn through the unpleasant method of missing out on loot or something.

We like new tips on the loading screen. You never know when new ones could be added.
