E.x. is there a drop rate penalty for each extra atker at hard mag?

^ what the person above me said. After inflicting a certain amount of damage to Hard Magnus, Chaos Vellum, or some other bosses where drop rate is relevant, your drop rate is applied.
Example:
person 1 has 4x drop from equips/buffs.
person 2 has 1x drop because he/she has no drop rate equips or drop rate buffs/
person 3 has 6x drop from equips/buffs.
11x drop divided by 3 = 3.66x drop rate.
This is why some players solo C.Velly/Hard Magnus because they can equip a lot of drop rate gear, allowing for more drops since not everyone in the party has a decent amount of drop rate gear.
From what I have read/understood, drop rate is averaged out by each person's individual drop rate, as well as the amount of people aggro-ing/attacking, so essentially, having a single person with an AMAZING drop rate% overall being able to completely solo without anyone else touching the boss/mob will provide more drops overall for the group, atleast in the case of CRA for CVB and CVell. If you have one person with really good drop rate, and 1 or more people with little to no drop rate, it will take the overall drop rate, and then divide it by the amount of people who touched the boss (including the littlest amount from tapping the mob/boss).
I want to apologize right now if any of the above looks/sounds funny.. I am really tired, and figured I would respond before going to sleep... Let me know if there is anything wrong in what I said/something needs to be clarified! Hope I helped
It'll average out the drop rate among players.
