Do you get loot in mail for leaving a mythic+ before its completed by rest of the group?

Hey guys.

I recently did a +7 Vortex with a pug on my warrior tank and it was going really well. We might have +3 it, but the hunter in the group just died on second boss and left and we don’t know why. We went on and 4 manned it anyways and got a +2 instead, but only my warrior got loot meaning that the second item would have been for the hunter who had already left the group.

Because we completed it and the hunter did not loot the item would it have went into his mailbox like other items that you don’t loot in instanced content? If so I’d like to know why this is a thing? Why who gets loot that drops is already predetermined before we even complete the dungeon? Its pretty unfair on the others in the group that continue and clear the mythic to not have a chance and the one that just leaves the group gets rewarded?

Because if it was not the case, you could leave before last boss leaving 2-3 people inside making sure 2 of them get the items greatly increasing their chance to get the specific loot.

yes the leaver always gets and item per mail because it seems fair.

happened quite a few times for me as well that always the leaver gets the item

Yes they can get loot, it is save mechanism to prevent kicking or leaving 1-3 people on last boss or affter last boss with 99% trash so that chosen people get loot,
