So I was invited to a group from achievements discord for a rare kill in Draenor. The rare was Silthide in Taldor. I accepted the invite and show up to the rare's location with the correct warmode setting on. I am able to see everyone in the raid and Silthide. We wait for more people to show up and we accumulate about 15 or so players. All of a sudden when we are about to pull, I get phased out and can no longer see the boss or my team mates (minus like 2 or so that keep phasing in and out to me.). So ultimately the rare dies and I do not receive the loot. I was on a heal spec and pre healed everyone in the group before it phased which usually works. When I leave the group the rare magically appears but since I am not in the group I can't loot it anymore and I get nothing in the mail. I sent in TWO tickets which Blizzard essentially told me "tough crap, thanks for the $15 a month sucker." and told me that they couldn't tell me what happened because it was a "secret".
The only thing I could even think going wrong was possible phasing from leaders being changed but that is not the case. We had the same lead throughout the kill. Then the next thing I thought of was possibly not having done the Taldor questline on that character. Then I also ruled this out because if that was the case I wouldn't have been able to see the rare in the same location before and after the kill happened. Literally I just got screwed out of a free mount because of a whack glitch with zero help from Blizzard. Any opinions on what happened would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for listening!
Yeah blizzard f-ed up sharding so badly even groups bug out sometimes and then they tell people to deal with it

I've noticed this happens more frequently when I heal only. It's like the game doesn't know you're there sometimes when you're a healer.
This is a major inconvenience too considering a lot of those rare spawn groups wont even accept you unless you're a healer so that more people can loot the mount.11/01/2018 11:45 AMPosted by LaineaI've noticed this happens more frequently when I heal only.

Just a question: is there a reason you can't just go snipe this rare on the 120 warrior you're posting on? If your issue is with the achievement for your healer alt I understand the complaint, but if its the mount you wanted, then I don't understand the complaint.
A work around until it's fixed, " I assume it's a bug," is to do just a touch of DPS don't have to do much at all.
The invite was from a group on achievement discord. the point of those groups is to post for many people to be able to group and get the mount together. Yes before I got phased I could've sniped the mount and prob looted it but I woulda screwed about 9 people out of getting the mount so I was waiting like usual. The rare is on a spawn timer that doesn't spawn often. It's not just a roll up and kill it deal. you have to camp it.11/01/2018 12:04 PMPosted by DvisJust a question: is there a reason you can't just go snipe this rare on the 120 warrior you're posting on?

Also to be noted, yes I could've pre-hit or taunted the boss but that would have pulled it and we were waiting for like 9 or so people to arrive. If you get a rep for pre pulling and not cooperating in achieve discord groups, you stop getting invites.
If you could also report this as a bug it would be great. Hopefully the more reports they get the quicker they'll nail down the issue. I noticed it happened at expansion drop update.
