Completed quest and everything, but nothing was found in the "loot piles".  At first I thought it was lag, but nothing was in all three piles. Taken at Lvl 3

Tested with two more characters, the left one seems to be working somewhat.  Brass Wand for the 2nd go, Ymphian Delight Pearl for the 3rd.

This is likelly because of the containers not closing correctly when the last person was there. I am guessing that your tests were done after a reset since the first time you noticed this problem. This problem happens, I believe, with only a few containers, and only occurs when they are opened, causing the container's inventory screen to appear blank, at first, then when you click close, its inventory screen suddenly seems to fill with items.

Ways to know if a container is bugged like this (and hence will have no loot):
-While no one is around it, the lid of the container is open.
-The container makes no sound when opening/closing.

Often the 'Cast off junk' piles will be bugged like this, but they will still have items in them, it is a problem with items not 'respawning' when someone takes the quest. Also, I am not sure of this, but if you notice that when you 'open' the trash pits, and it makes no sound when you open or close it, that your items may not be deleted when you close it, allowing people to walk over and take the item(s) that you supposedly dropped into a deep hole, though I'm unsure of this.
