Boss Drop Rate

There are basically 2 flaws in the drop rate system, from what Mazz writes.

1) The automatic assumption that, without attacking, "passive" party members will default to the active attacker's drop rate
2) The inability to directly individualise drops to drop rate

The first part is a simple coding issue I believe. The second is more tedious, but is necessary to fix. Having 22x drop but only getting 4.5x is absolutely unacceptable. edit: the reverse is true too: getting more drops from a solo than a full party of 6 is equally unacceptable.

I believe this issue crops up because the individualised boss drop rate system was designed with the assumption that everyone in the party takes part in bossing, and so the simplest and fairest way to individualise drops is to average everything out. By right the fairest way to assign drops is through normalisation of damage dealt to boss, or ranking of players based on damage dealt, then apply drop rate multiplier to every player individually. That's quite a handful to write properly... for Nexon.
