Not getting Influence credit

mord

I'm a leader of a level 20 guild and have noticed that not everyone is getting influence when we are out doing stronghold heroics. The lower level characters complete the influence runs with us but aren't get credit for it sometimes... We can't figure out if it is level based or damage based to get credit because we have been getting conflicting results. As far as i'm aware, pre mod 16, all that mattered was that you hit something, it didn't matter what level you were or how much damage you did. Anyone else running into this issue? Did i miss something on one of the the patch notes? @nitocris83 help!

As can be seen in the attached image, even at level 74 most damage is 1 against a level 80 enemy.

It seems that until you are about level 77, your contribution is almost completely ignored. The only exception is the tossing of Doohickeys which sadly are rumored to be reduced in strength. Basically the Stronghold concept for non-level 80 characters is to pretend to be part of the crowd, but loose out on the benefits. Marauders seems to work ok because there are more opportunities to score 'enough' damage. Often the T3 run leader will stay and do another one or two just for those that didn't get credit along the way - they also do the pairs of mobs (no sympathy, Giants, Beholders) At-wills only to lengthen the event for the lower level characters (keeps the target alive longer).
