I think more than a few good arguments have been made for both sides of this issue, but the largest reason I think that something should be changed is what tek said, this mechanic is not consistent with any other boss drops/quest continuation mechanics in this game, and therefore confusing, especially if you are not familiar with other RPG mechanics. Additionally, that confusion leads you on a very long back and forth fight in a severely impaired state that was difficult enough the first time. Especially because I was level 28 at the time and didn't have Combat Speed x2 (12 AP).

Excellent points, everyone. The reason for it being this way, is that we currently have no way of triggering a conversation (or quest script) when a monster has been killed. Conversations (and thus, quest scripts) are currently only triggered when talking to a non-hostile NPC, or when stepping on certain areas. The area where the lich spawns is one of such area, that triggers a conversation (similar to what signposts do).

I would love to get the time for v0.6.12 to code the ability to trigger quests actions when a monster has been killed. This would remove the need for using "[whatshisname]'s signet ring" as a quest trigger in subsequent conversations to progress quests, and instead add a quest progress text right when a monster has been killed.
