WoW Forever group quest drops

Is this a known issue? Status, diagnosis and what to do next.

Monitoring Known issue 60.1.700 Last verified

Known? Not a bug — it is a deliberate change. While grouped, quest item drops are spread more evenly across the party through a background round-robin system.

all build 60.1.700

Symptoms

  • Quest item drops feel different when you group up.
  • You stop looting quest items until groupmates catch up.
  • Uncertain whether drop rates were nerfed for groups.

Affected versions & platforms

build 60.1.700 all

How to confirm / reproduce

  1. Confirm you are in a group — the change only applies to grouped play, not solo.
  2. Note your count versus your groupmates: the system aims to keep totals roughly even.
  3. Do not read it as a reduced drop chance; the underlying chance is reported as unchanged.

Official guidance

WoW Classic developer Josh Greenfield described a background "Round Robin" that spreads quest item drops across a group. It was added to support grouping on drop quests; the raw drop chance is unchanged from Vanilla/Classic.
