Unlike on OSRS the person who deals the most damage does not always get the kill / drop, they just have a higher chance of getting it. I'm not sure how we could create a situation where the person who performs worse ends up being the most successful, other than making it a lottery. If you have a specific suggestion in this regard I'm all ears.

We also have the personal rewards system to make sure lower geared players still get rewards for events.

I imagine something like log-weighting (with a small base, like 3 or 4) could reduce the disparity without making the best players with the best gear feel like they have it for nothing.

As of now, the person who dealt the most damage to an NPC is no longer guaranteed its loot. Anyone who deals any damage to an NPC now has a chance at getting the loot for that kill. However, the one player who dealt most damage gets a bonus chance (equal to 50% of their damage) and will still get the loot most of the time.
This change will allow newer players to get at least a few drops when competing with others who have better gear, while still allowing those with the best gear to get most of the loot.

A few examples to illustrate:
NPC X has 50 hitpoints. Player A did 10 damage, player B did 40 damage. B did most damage, so gets counted as 40 + 40/2 = 60
A has 10/(10 + 60) = 10/70 = 14% chance to get the loot
B has 60/(10 + 60) = 60/70 = 86% chance to get the loot

NPC Y has 100 hitpoints. Player A did 20 damage, B did 40, C also did 40. In the case of a draw, either B or C is chosen at random as 'player with most damage'. The chosen one will then have his damage counted as 40 + 40/2 = 60
A has 20/(20 + 40 + 60) = 20/120 = 17% chance
B or C has 40/(20 + 40 + 60) = 40/120 = 33% chance
C or B has 60/(20 + 40 + 60) = 60/120 = 50% chance
Overall, A has 17% chance, while B and C both have 41.5% chance to get the loot

• As of now, you will only have a chance at getting loot from a NPC if you dealt at least 50% of the damage of the highest damage dealing player. This way, players can no longer steal loot due to the 10 August update
