No, they go down, because you have competition. Going with one other
person who you know doesn't want what you need, means you're guaranteed
to win if it drops. 3 chances of a guaranteed win vs 5 of having to roll
against 4 other people, no contest.

Hmm... it's more complex than that. People who already have the item
can't get it twice, and at this point I'm finding that in a given 5-
person group, 2 or 3 have completed the achievement. So you get 5
bites at the apple, with only 2-3 competitors.

Plus, until today, you got the achievement simply for having the pet
or the helm in your bag. Since you can now trade soulbinding items in
group for a couple hours after acquiring them, if one hallowed helm or
squashling dropped, it was being passed around the entire group, with
everyone getting the achievement. Sadly that seems to have been nerfed
with todays maintenance.

At the moment, while we're travelling out to the site (which is a hell
of a haul for Alliance), we discuss looting rules, and I tell everyone
that I intend to Need on the mount (and only the mount), and I expect
everyone else to as well. I expect everyone who is after the rare
drops (pet, helm, horse) to Need on them. This stops loot ninjaing.

How are you getting 3 turns with two people? The Goldshire quest works
only once, right?
