If you want to clean up after yourselves you could always destroy the one
you're carrying, and then pick up the next... but, the mobs should disapear
in 3 minutes.... I haven't timed this, but I seem to remember Verant stating
this going into effect.

Not ALL quest items are NO DROP. The shadow ball and patch from the
shadowmen used for Wizards quests are definately not no drop. And the
Lambent stones aren't either. Was lucky enough to have a level 39 Bard
friend help my gf (30 mage) and me (26 Bard) kill HG's. Was a GREAT change
from camping MM and Unrest and dying 3 times a night. I died once to a HG
and it was probably the most fun I had dying yet. : )
