1: VT is a FFA mob, first come, first served.
2: BDA mobilized and engaged first.
3: BDA kills VT, all loot no-drop or tradeable is the propriety of BDA and they do whatever they want with it.
4: They decide to award it to Prisila.
5: Saraya spam-clicks a corpse containing the item that was decided by the owners of the corpse to be awarded to Prisila, loots it and gets banned.
This is text-book ninja looting. You can argue all you want about BDA being assholes or Chest being a douche, that's all opinions and emotional reasoning. Points 1 to 5 cannot be argued and that's what happened.

This is why Prisila being in the kill group doesn't matter. If BDA decided to let the corpse rot or record themselves deleting the item and send the video to Saraya telling her "lol you'll never get your epic" they would be within their rights to do so. Supreme asshole move? Sure, but since it's THEIR kill, it's THEIR loot and if one of their lvl 1 chanter alt was logging on to loot the item, it would also be in their right to do so.
The corpse was never "open" because soon as the mob was dead, they decided to award the item to Prisila. Saraya decided to ninja it.
I know it sucks that Saraya is an underdog valiantly struggling against a giant like BDA with numbers, mobility and gear, but rules of ownership applies to everyone, from the casual gamer to the most powerful guild on the server.
Anyone calling a grey area on this issue makes an emotional judgement.
