Yeah. You just have to tag everything first.

Well, all the bags I've seen went to either tanks or healers, sometimes a choppa would get it.
I think this is just like confirmation bias. Honestly it wasn't that hard to farm ruin on a knight, and i didn't get first every single time just from tanking and pulling mobs. A keg engie and RP got 1st just as many times, and we farmed this PQ for hours. Were talking 50+ PQ runs. Just stick with it, especially when there's fewer people running it, that is your time to shine.

After being griefed a bit by a separate 'pve elitist' group, I came to the conclusion that PQ tag/kill contribution can be taken from you by another group. These guys would AoE kill and tag everything using a slayer/wp combo and always were 1st and 2nd. Not only that, the rest of the groups barely participated at this time because it was simply to difficult to compete with this slayer/wp for contribution. They won every single bag until they got sick of the easymode farm and moved on.

You mean... Until they got the loot that they were there for?

Why criticize for efficiency... I bet they made the PQ FAR easier and quicker than if they weren't there. They got rewarded for it. What's the problem?

Group up! Hard to get Contribution as a solo tank or healer? Woe is you. Group up and gaurd/heal the DPS. You're all at the PQ together anyways...

That's not how it went down at all. You seem like a swell guy.

Trying to farm the shoulders on my Zealot, now that's painful, I just gave up in the end and got the Anni shoulder instead.
