Undersized party: Boss crafting mats too?

[Seshayn]

From the 3.0 Patch Notes

This option has no effect on the strength of enemies or mechanics in the duties it is applied to. Players will still receive treasure rewards, first time completion bonuses, and experience points upon completion of duty when using this option. However, players will not receive experience points or items from enemies that appear prior to boss encounters. Spirit bond and soul resonance cannot be gained when using this option.

You don't receive item drops PRIOR to boss encounters. Since in an undersized party, chests still drop throughout the instance, I take this to mean bosses DO in fact drop items. Since this obviously does not count chest reward items, the only other thing it can be is items dropped from the actual kill, such as EX Primal crafting materials.

I'm kinda in the same boat with others, seeing as primals are just boss fights and nothing more, until confirmed by devs it is hard to say if it can or not. Sure people can run it 20 times and not get it, but we are playing percents here right? Just cus it has a 20% chance to drop (or w.e the rate is) can still miss it 100 times.
