[Name, Type] Looting, Quest Items
[What it does] Even if I'm not on the quest that requires me to kill/loot a creature, I can still loot the quest item.
[What it should do] I should not be able to loot the quest item until I actually have that quest

Here is an example, but definitely not the only instance where I've noticed it:

All of my quests are complete, so you can't see what I was supposed to do, but none of those quests required anything from the basilisks that I was killing only to level my skinning. Even if I did have the quest, it would still allow me to collect the quest item from them.

Yes I am aware of this, and I have fixed a lot for v6.1 already, but it would be a big help if you could report the ones dropping it, so I don't have to both discover it, and also fix it. (If you get my point, so I avoid spending time discover which ones as well)

Sorry, I wasn't sure if it was in general with all quest items or specific ones. I'll try to report them, and be more specific on them, if I find any more.

Great. Already fixed a few in Blasted Lands where you reported as well. :)

I'm going to call this fixed, Only because these have to be fixed one at a time. It usually means that a looted item was not listed as a quest reward, but rather as a standard drop.
