Have you guys ever had a drop that had the bright orange indicator over the core but when you went to retrieve it, it ended up not being orange? In my case I was doing Eochaid and got one but when I went to get the core, it was his toenail instead @.@

    It's actually white, and it indicates someone's orange, not yours.

    Pretty sure when it's yours it's orange, not white. It'll be white if it's someone elses. I took a ss when I saw the orange beam.

    Anyway to link what item you looted from that orange core? Because it could be a graphical glitch.

    Did you not get the essence after receiving all the drops? If not then that's really weird. I had a orange drop once without there being a light but nothing like this.

    I know there's a way for host to glitch it so you don't get the drop. If they end the party early, you will not get the drop, so what most people do is right when the raid finish, click forfeit to end it earlier before the party host does. It happened to someone else that was in my party earlier. Gotta watch out for these troll hosts.

    It hasn't happened to me, but someone else made a thread about this before with picture proof and others confirmed it.

    This is only for QB hosting. Hosts doing /leave for non-QB runs don't have this issue. You might need to let new/unfamiliar hosts know, incase they're unaware of this. Before QB was added in, alot of hosts did /leave at the end of raids to skip the wait time for clear screens.

    There was a topic about this earlier when it first started happening, though. And I even mega'd about this when it happened to me. (In this case, some people just didn't know, as I got a couple "Thanks for this info!" )

    But like RyanReynolds said, some trolls just want to watch the world burn.

    Edit: @misakamisaka I actually had the reverse happen to me, once. No orange light whatsoever, but when I went to go incinerate all my crap drops, there was an OJ Abom Feet Armor in my inventory. Like whaaaaaaa.......

    So yeah, it can happen.

    This is why I loot my cores before someone pulls this kind of crap. People don't realize that trolling just wastes gold, and provides an extreme annoyance to the player that got it.

    Sorry for the late response, unfortunately, I didn't ss the drops I got ): But thanks for the replies everyone! I recently got back to playing again so it's nice to know all this. I guess I should be wary of the QB runs I join.

    Unfortunately, there will be more trolls than meets the eye.
