Bug Fire does not claim kill

[monkeyfatzer]

If I have a fire sword or use the skill soulfire, and kill someone the kill is not claimed. It says "(Name) has been ignited or one of the 30,000 death messages"(Sarcasm). I get the karma/elo if I kill someone with soulfire but it seems I do not for fire aspect swords I think. It would be cool if you killed someone with fire and it said, "(Name) has ignited (Name)" Or something. Don't know if its a bug or not, but gonna post it here.

I've been noticing this since day one: whenever I kill something with the residue fire from Fireball (as caster then as wizard), I would gain experience but the mob-drop-when-killed-by-a-player and gold nuggets will never drop. This is quite annoying as I find myself having to waste mana icebolting to make sure the last damage inflicted on the mob is not the fire tick(s).

Kills with Fireball itself on impact works fine, it's the residual DoT that seems to cause this. Not sure about other DoT since I haven't played other classes.

I've noticed this as well. It's not just Fire Aspects / SoulFire. Fire tick in general has had a record of stealing kills from the player. Anything we can do about this?

Getting differing reports... is the issue its not granting EXP or is it not granting accurate loot?

It grants karma and exp but you won't get a bounty or credited a pvp kill.
