let's say I'm in a hell game with 7 other players STANDING IN ACT1 while I clear chaos... all those skull piles and or other poppable things that I click on start dropping gold and random sh*t...

will it be the same if the other 7 players are in chaos helping me with the killing?

2nd question: if hell chaos is a lvl84 area (iirc, if not correct me pls)... does it matter what lvl is my char when I click on those skull piles? or is the same whether my char is lvl91 or lvl19?

ty for the knowledge, I hope I had made myself clear

Yes.

this ^^

When you kill a monster in a multiplayer game, the game calculates a number to use as the nodrop exponent. This is not simply N.

It counts 1 for you, the killing player.
It counts 1 more for each player that is (a) partied with you and (b) within two screens of you.
It counts 0.5 for each other player, either unpartied or far away.
It rounds the final total down.

So, if you sneak into a full public game on the realms and don't party up but go MFing on your own, you actually only get a nodrop exponent of 4 (1 for you, 3 for the 7 unpartied players rounded down), while the other partied guys are getting an exponent of 7 (7 people in their party, and you rounded down to 0). Even though all of you are killing p8 monsters with their 4.5x HP. It is one of Blizzard's many measures to encourage party play.

So no, is not the same, chaos is a85 does not matter your level, the difference is that they will drop as player 4 if they are in act1 doing nothing and as p8 if they are with you.
