Does anyone know how to avoid this bug? Since it's been on beta for ages now, I'm assuming it will still be there on live, and I'd rather not waste my time killing the same world boss over and over.
I've only heard you need to have the world quest pop up with some warden telling you to kill the boss, but today I had the same bug even after I got the popup, didn't do a dungeon or anything in between, created the raid, tagged the boss with dots, stayed there for the whole encounter healing, didn't even die, got loot, but no world quest credit. Could it be because I was resto with loot spec set to dps? (Seems unlikely) Or do you need to do a higher amount of damage to the boss? Maybe it's just not worth healing world bosses if so. Anyone knows?
As far as I can tell you can't do them in a raid group. That really should be changed for killing open tag mobs. 100 people can get credit for the same kill, but not if they are part of a raid group. Joined groups today and had to leave group at 10% HP on the target mob to get credit. Clunky.
you should never be able to complete quest unless a raid boss quest as a raid group it would make questing far far to easy hence blizzard making it 5man during wod as players took the piss doing the pit in gorgrond.
