WTH is going on in Talus chute?
CmOo_WtFaCk
Ok i walk outside with my warrior to run to ice cave missions and i see a horde of avircari and trolls runs then they just start fighting each other and the funny thing about this is a superior vigor armor dropped and i just waited till the fighting finished and took the gold armor lol.So the question is, is that supposed to heppen or is it a glitch?
RTSFirebat
Tehre been some changes made, I'm not sure if that's meant to happen. But many mobs do fight each other. Some just walk past one another, but its fun when they fight.

There's a bug in the drop system (even you can drop items when you die and so do your henchies).
CmOo_WtFaCk
The ttrolls wons
Matsumi
When groups of NPC's kill eachother they don't drop anything, unless you help. Oh, never new there was a bug in the drops I guess.
CmOo_WtFaCk
i didnt realy help them i just watch them duke it out i was quite amused when i saw the gold armor drop.

^ For me, the Birds won 
Also, sometimes, a poor Stone Summit Warrior (Lvl 10) appers infront of the ice cave...
Normally he get's owned by the trolls, the Avicaras or by me :d

The drops are bugged. If you manage to get into the agro circle you also get XP from the kills. If a henchman dies, his/her portion of the gold drops so far drops as well.
That level 10 summit has appeared randomly forever, there occassionally a level 10 ice golem in it's place. You can often find them between the crafter in Talus and the exit of teh troll cave on that side.

The avicara have been fighting (more like 'slaughtering') those trolls for months, the new thing seems to be that mobs drop stuff when fighting eachother. I've never seen it, but am going to have a look now.

I had an ecto drop for me like that, a group of coldfires killed a group of smites and the loot was assigned to us. It's probably a bug, but i like it

But, this is using a known exploit and Anet does have the right to ban any accounts they see fit for that. Use at your own discretion.

lol, well you could all milk the bug for all its worth, only a matter of time till A.net correct it and patch the patch.
Song Rui
And if Anet ban anyone for this, I'll laugh until I cry.

That fight has always occured even before all this updates. Longest I can remeber since SF update.
Swinging Fists
Why is everyone so sure it's a bug ?
Lady Kalvam
Well it was like that before that the monsters dropped Items when fighting each other. However people started to abuse it (mainly in Riverside Province where you could use your Nightmare Army to kill off the whole map without doing anything besides running around)
It got patched one day though.

Because afaik, monsters fighting themselves has never produced drops without someone getting involved. Now they do.
(Edit: ) Of course if that's how ANet intended it to be, then it's not a bug.

Saider maul
yeah i got a gold frost artifact from that battle just let it die then they will run back to top of hill and your free to reep the rewards.
Lady Kalvam
I doubt they intended it this way. I just got that Ritualist Staff from Whispering Ritual Lord by simply luring him into another mob.
quickmonty
Was out wandering around in the Jade Sea last night. There were drops laying all around before I even got into range. Mobs fighting each other all over and dropping loot for me.
It was after last night's update.

I had a couple of drops waiting for me in Nolani mission last night as well and couldn't figure out how they got there as I hadn't been to that spot yet. Apparently the ghosts and bugs were fighting.

. It's probably a bug that came with yesterday's updates. Enjoy it while it lasts!
Markrids
Can anyone list locations where monsters fight each other?

BowLad21
does it matter if it is a bug or not? People will keep the best places to farm these battles secret so they get the best items, just like 55s.
striderkaaru
55s are secret?
quickmonty
These places are all over. Anywhere that mobs will fight each other. It must be a bug because it makes it too easy to get stuff.
Feels rather ghoulish standing around until a battle is over so you can rob the dead.

I farm like this :0
I go out side droks, watch them fight, when they done, pick up loot and sell, rinse, repeat.

I'm gonna wish I'd took part in this later, but right now I can't think of what to do with it.
Olfin Bedwere
Way back in the early days mobs fighting each other did produce drops. Not saying that they went back and this isn`t a bug but they used to drop items.
quickmonty
No more.

Trolls will always be owned, especially at the begining to the right, where there is like 8 avicarr, chased those trolls and beat them down lol.
