Locking zones rolls

Not sure which forum part this should be in tbh, but the mechanics behind behind these rolls that occur when you lock the zone is faulty imo.
I have 3 lvl 40's that I switch between dependning on the mood I am in, for some reason last night, neither my SH or my Sorc "felt right " in the battle that occurred in Black Crag, so I switched after having tried both for like 5-10 min, to my Magus, which I played for like 2½ hr, then after an intense battle we managed to lock the zone and usual rolls took place.
Now my Magus ended up at place 181 ( I am pretty sure that during this entire time, we where not over 120 destro in total).
Later I logged on my Sorc, got some RR and a medallion but also a green bag (in the mail)?
Which has to mean that, when the rolls starts, it looks on all characters that have been in zone , where as (imo) it should only look at the characters that are in zone at that time, I had 3 chances of a bag, where I should only have 1.
This also has to mean that all who x-realm, have chance for loot even though they are on the loosing side at that time, farming with the AAO buff and getting rolls on their destro characters, correct?
Please look into this a.s.a.p.

Strongly suggest you get some screen shots of this occurring, i.e. your Magus getting only partial rewards (try grab records of participation in the zone, killing enemies, running supplies, on the ram, killing BO or keep guards) and then next time and throw it on the bug tracker, there is a link to page at the top of the website.
I know I don't speak for the team, as I am just a moderator, but calling out on forums does not help the team keep track of issues.

Nah, my Magus got rewards, thats not the issue, all my characters got rewards albeit my SH and Sorc just a minor amount of RR and medallions compared to my Magus, but my sorc go a bag where it should not have been in the roll even, thats the problem.
Ill post it in the bug tracker.
thx

You get to roll even if you aren't online with a char.
That is intentional afaik.
And the more you play with a char the more contribution you get with the char.
So it has to been made some screenshots how a char differs in being online for 15 mins or for 2,5 hours and compare if it is correct.

I dont know, how to do a screenshot that shows that tbh?
The only reason why my Sorc was in black crag to start with, was to fetch the Beastlord quest, I took the way through the lakes and was ganked 2 times afore I got it, the 3rd time I went alongside a small group and we met some resistance on the way, I got maybe like 600 rr total and probably yielded a couple of 1000 to the lucky sod (damn wh) that got me both times.
Oh well, I made a ticket of it anyways, I mean there must be some code that shows when a character becomes eligable for the roll, regardless of me having an SS or not.

A character that contributes to RvR in the lakes is eligibile for zone lock rewards rolling. It could be just one kill assist, shared kill, one deathblow, capping one flag, running one supply, entering ram and hitting the door... and the more you end up contributing in various ways to the zone lock, the higher contri you get, up to 500, with the remaining 0-1000 RNG roll deciding whether your score is high enough for a bag reward.
Your sorc just got lucky with having done very tiny amount of contribution. Meanwhile many players who often contribute a lot get less lucky and roll bad numbers and end up with nothing.
In theory you could maximize your chance of getting bags for yourself by logging 20 different chars with each of them doing a kill in the zone to get some contribution, and if the gods of RNG are feeling funny that day, you might be able to score enough points on enough many alts to get several bags.
