No, I'm not whining about grind.
I didn't know exactly where to post this either, because there sems not to be a technical ingame issues part of the board, so please move it if I'm in the wrong place.
When I try to cap skills, I get an error saying I'm "too far away, and I need to be closer to a boss." The problem is, I'm standing right next to the boss. It's happened to me on two seperate occasions, once in a mission, and once in an explorable area. Is anyone else having this problem? Is there a little dance you have to do before capping elites that I'm not doing?

The boss has to be dead.

Make sure you are positively standing within range. At times, lag shows you are standing near him, but then loops back, which makes you not near the boss.
Then again, it could be a bug. I suggest you report it to ANet.

@sojen Yeah, I know it jumps you around due to lag, but I'm positive I'm standing next to him when I get this error (and I didn't warp there, like you warp to people you target sometimes).

This eliminates the need to keep boss monsters alive while trying to capture their skills, and will substantially reduce the difficulty of capturing certain skills that are rarely cast by boss monsters....

You now have to kill the boss.
Once you do so use the capture signet and it'll give you a list of the skills the boss had, pick one.
