How does loot drop participation work?

Quote from this thread explains the xp.

To get XP for a monster kill, you just have to be on the monster’s aggro table when it dies. If you are in a party, you get credit for the aggro of everyone in your party as long as you are on there with at least 1 aggro point.

As a healer, you generate aggro on monsters when you heal someone that they are attacking.

So basically if you heal someone that the monster is attacking you should get credit. And if you are in a party with that person you will get full credit for what they do as well.

And for the loot, Riley explains that in this thread(around message 359)

@Riley_D

Right so each person has their own chance to get a drop on the monster. It’s personal loot. However, your chances of getting loot, like XP, can go up based on your overall contribution to defeating the monster. So if you walk by someone killing a monster that is 3/4 dead and you just help a little, your chances of getting loot rolls are not as high as the person who did 3/4 of the work.

When you’re in a party, you get credit for everyone in your party. That way if you’re a Musketeer spending your time healing allies, you’re still getting the same credit as a Runemage doing massive damage to the primary target. Likewise, if you’re a Runemage focusing on just one target, your chances of getting loot on the other targets isn’t lessened,

So I guess I’m just making sure that you all are in a party during the farming process. If you had say 5 people in a party and a 6th person tagging along, they are gong to have way less of a chance to be getting loot because they aren’t getting credit for all the stuff the other party people are doing.
