I believe I’ve seen this one other time, but after logging in about 30 minutes ago I started posting for an ST group as I went out to grind mobs. As a tank I get the invite off the first message (yay tanks) from a warlock and run into the blasted lands to grind mobs for the buff quests.
The first mob I kill gives me no loot and I’m like WTF, he’s near by? Nope, he’s in Gadgetzan. So I decide to humor some more kills and realize not only am I NOT getting loot I’m not getting experience. I tell the warlock to reinvite me after I drop and I kill a couple mobs with no issue. I get the invite and go back to killing mobs and everything works fine thereafter.
I really have no idea what causes this bug, but the conditions this time was logging in from stonard, getting an invite while in swamp of sorrows, and then going and killing mobs in Blasted lands. I also checked to see if we were considered a raid, and we did not appear to be.

I wanted to reply to this as well.

Still having a similar/same issue. If i’m in a group, I cannot loot any mobs killed in the blasted lands. I tried reloading UI/relogging. Nothing seems to help. You can only loot when not in a group.
Is this a known bug?
Edit:
I also noticed when in a group you get 0 xp for kills. That’s right, 0 experience.
I recheck - not on master loot, no party members nearby.
I was able to fix it by dropping group and getting reinvited so not sure why or what exact chain of events occurred the first time that didn’t the second.
I also had a similar experience while … multiboxing. Yes hate me for multiboxing if you want but I ran into this issue multiple times, and it so far has only occurred around Gnomergan for me.
- Inside of IF, I send 2 invites to other characters to my group. These other characters are regular (not real ID) friends. The invites are sent out simultaneously with a macro and then accepted immediately on the other characters thanks to the Leatrix Plus addon. Leatrix adds an option to automatically accept party invites by friends. I basically push the macro, and instantly they are added to party.
- I set loot to free for all while still inside IF.
- We run from IF to Gnomergan.
- I kill 1 mob before entering Gnomergan instance. No loot drops. No xp is gained. Both elite and regular mobs didn’t grant rewards.
- Everyone quits the party.
- I remake the party using the exact same method as shown in step 1.
- Killing a mob again drops loot and grants experience now.
I was able to reproduce this almost every single time I did runs for Gnomergan from IF. This issue did not occur for other instances. For example I’ve been using the same method to invite my characters and when I go from IF to SM, I have not ever have to remake the party.
Other details:
1 character was level 60 hunter with level 59 pet.
2 other characters were level 25 hunters (no pets).
