Players on our server have discovered that using the looting quests and back packs combined can trick the counters on looting quests. We had a rifle body quest and players were moving it from their inventory to backpack and then back into inventory. We have since removed all the looting quests but just thought i would point this out.

yes the same is if player A do it in a lootbox and palyer B loot it, it counts too, or if player A do it in a lootbox and after server restart looting it, it counts too.

Yeah players have discovered the backpack bug with quests on my server as well.

A fix would be appreciated. Backpacks will win over quests with players so I'll have to disable quests, but would rather not.

After some thought, there is a way to workaround the issue, but it's not ideal. With backpacks you can blacklist items in your quests to ensure people didn't place those items in backpacks which avoids the exploit.

The issue is you'll have to black list anything that is part of a gather quest and this probably goes for anything that is a gather or loot quest item.

I wonder if "ItemDeduction": true could be a solution to this situation, but I'm unclear how it works. I suspect that in order to claim the Quest you need to have the items in your inventory and then on claim they are removed?

Does this problem still exist?

I'm not sure. I think what I did was use Backpacks to ensure quest items couldn't be placed into Backpacks.
