I'm sorry if this has been talked about too much, but it seems quite a few people are upset with the full loots. I'm just going to throw out an idea.

- Allow the killer or killer's group to take X number of items for Y minutes. To help with ganking, mebbi the number of items decrease with more people in the group (so now you gotta fight with your groupmate to get that shiny s/he just took from the corpse).
- Corpse cannot be destroyed (steaks, etc...) for the above Y minutes or mebbi a little more.
- No one else can take anything from the corpse for that time.
- This may apply to mob deaths, but the period of time will be shorter (to close the shove/beastcall loophole).

I dunno. I don't have too much of a problem with looting (I seem to always end up playing a mage), but I'm just seeing the full looting issue factoring into people getting pissed/leaving. This may increase multi-kills, but maybe something can put in so you can't take anything until some more time has passed.

Comments? Suggestions? Rants? Just a shot in the dark.

We have kicked around a few ideas, but, nothing so drastic as you are asking. We like the spreading of gear because of death. The only thing we see that may require a tweak at some point would be low level looters. I agree that the sub 20 guy looting stud hero gear is kind of bleh. That's just my opinion. Another imm may have a completely different opinion on that. And even that needs to have it's checks and balances if something like that were to be implemented.

People have always been upset with full loots; I think corpseguard and reductions in mob inventory has gone a long way towards reducing this from happening, though. I also think that it is now a lot easier to regear than it was even two years ago, which helps take the sting out of a full loot as well.

Bottom line, I'm fine with full loots still happening on occasion.
