This week answers were provided for questions pertaining to: bonuses for underpopulated realms, classes without an active team lead, mob raids, pets and credit in raids, Trial 2.9, and artifact powers. Below is one of the Q&A's from this weeks grab bag, to read more just follow this link:

Q: I need to get this question cleared up because I'm getting mixed answers. Can a pet make a raid not get credit if it gets the last hit on a ML or Artifact raid mob? A: No. That’s the short answer. Long answer: - A monster that has been confused can steal credit on an encounter if the monster gets the killing blow. (Confused creatures will attack other monsters.) This used to happen a lot on dragon raids, so most players above a certain level remember it clearly. The problem is that the confused monster isn’t and can’t be linked to a player the way a pet is, so the server doesn’t realize that the actions of a human player led to the death of the computer generated target. - There was a bug with TOA, where encounter targets that died to a particular kind of weapon proc damage would not award credit. It took what felt like forever to figure out the common cause. Since most raids do employ pets as supplemental damage dealers, it was thought for some time that the pets were the culprits. So the convergence of those two facts, combined with the fact that pets do take some experience, may have led to the rumors that the pets steal encounter credit. Rest assured that they do not.
