    The logs get scrambled during the npc group attacks. Not everybody shows up in every log

    so even if you attack and lose, you still have a chance to get the loot right?

    Yes, you don’t need to be in final group attack to get the loot, there is a lottery system that will check, how many hits you landed (if you made damage your chances will be higher) during last 10 minutes …

When attacking Leslie earlier, in what appeared to simply be just another boss battle, it ended pretty much as usual, nothing gained, etc. However, I tend to see who actually ended up being lucky and scroll all the way down to the bottom to check on the winners. This time, however, something caught my eye.

What appears to simply be the usual boss loot divvy

With one exception:

https://gyazo.com/7b72de63b05ce6ebc28345bebab99d4a

Somehow, it appears that he never even joined the attack, never got any hits in, and still managed to get loot.

Now, just to confirm, I looked up myself under the same method:

And repeated it on someone else who actually got loot:

https://gyazo.com/7e026f707b4e87eb32ba9e2b06c0e36c

Both of the last 2 cases were individuals who actively participated in the fight, but JayBragga never joined, never attacked, and still managed to somehow profit?

This led me to the conclusion that somehow, either the boss loot is bugged, or someone managed to hack the boss loot to receive payouts from it. If this is the case, it would be considered to be a major exploit, and could, in theory, be "stealing" from a large number of actual participants in those same boss battles. I look forward to a response to this, as well as a potential explanation if possible.

Yeah like shoes is saying, it gets scrambled but I definitely recall him making a hit, this is from our faction attack logs:

Time stamp is same time as that Leslie attack

So in this instance, even if you aren't in the attack at the time it concludes, you're still up for the loot? Because to my understanding, you need to be in the group to be eligible for the loot. I wasn't aware of any log scrambling, and it certainly makes sense, though it doesn't fully answer the aforementioned statement

Yes, you don’t need to be in final group attack to get the loot, there is a lottery system that will check, how many hits you landed (if you made damage your chances will be higher) during last 10 minutes before PNC was defeated.
