"It was hard to say whether there was such an item... One item? How were you planning to split it up if you teamed up?" Xu Huo asked.
"That's the great thing about this instance. Players can team up, but the instance doesn't recognize teams. The people who clear it are judged individually, so everyone gets their own rewards." The player in the hat clearly knew quite a bit about the instance.
