Because it makes people uncomfortable about adding strangers because theres a chance they can steal the parties loot. Which I think is against the goal of what nexon is trying to do. Honnestly though this seems like they are jumping the shark and are just about ready to ditch this game. Giving what most people have ask for without thoroughly thinking about what they are actually wanting.
Of course it would. Just like games like GW2, D3 and PSO2, when a boss or party play monster is killed, every player involved (IE, you got EXP), is given an individual chance at the drop tables. Drops are only theirs, and only they can see them. The only difference is that in the previously mentioned games, all monsters are under this effect. In MS, we really only need it for all bosses and party play monsters.
That's why it would be a little more difficult to implement than anything else, and depends on whether or not Nexon would get off their lazy asses to do something like this. The only recent game I can think of with party play options that does not support this is Borderlands 2, because the idea is to fight over loot, and fight each other if someone grabs something you want. Here, we don't want that, so such a system would be very useful.
@Slash/Stab crap:
It would be good if we could actually choose which to use. IE: Attack 1 does Stab, but Attack 2 does Slash. Then, bosses should have X vulnerability, which would promote different methods towards defeating them, perhaps with changing resistances. Right now, normal attacks are random, some skills are random, and those that are not you wouldn't want it with anyway. The worst part is this really only applies to melee characters. Most of everyone else is boned and stuck into a specific group. For example, what do Mages get? Magic? Oh man, they're so lucky!
This is a good concept to implement in MS2, but at this point there's no reason to add it to MS1. Plus, with Nexon's Resistance Happy ways, it's not exactly going to even do anything. Every boss will just be 50% resistant to everything.

That is completely false in JMS. I don't know about GMS or recent changes in KMS, though. In JMS it only ever stabs. This is what spawned the BW user complaints about Blast not having a regular swinging animation, because it's dumb to stab with a BW.
