Like knapsacks when you try to empty them let #### get snagged =D
Get all corpse
You get this
You get that
You try and grab this but it slips from you fingers/falls out of your grasp/etc etc
You get some more junk
You drop something else
More junk
You drop something
etc
So instead of always getting a l33t loot you sometimes drop stuff wiether it be trash or whatever I'd like to see people scrambling to grab things instead of just.. getting them

and stuff.

It has been brought up before and argued to death, so I wouldn't bother rehashing it again, since every other time it has been brought up, the decision has been to leave it as it is.

That corpse looting is fine. Now I know I come and post about a lot of crap that screws me over (That I feel needs changing or looking at, not just because I don't like that it happened to me), but I don't think corpse looting needs to be touched at all. This is a PK mud, so you have to expect to die, and you have to expect to get looted.

Scenario...
You're on your caravan going down the road and you get ambushed. BOOM, your whole caravan is dead. Now... all of your bodies remain in this plane for whatever reason, so it's back to the caravan to see what you can salvage. However, more caravans have passed and found use for the stuff that was left by the marauders, if they didn't pilfer it all in the first place. Chances are, you wont find much left, except for the crap nobody needed, unless you just got robbed by a petty thief, in which case, it sucks for you.

Your best bet is don't get ganged, or fight the honorable samauri in a remote place, and hope no greedy magi uses his magic to come and pilfer you corpse like the marauders and passer-byers.

In so many words, it aint broke. In terms of game balance, it keeps EQ circulating. Those who don't know their way around have a way to get those not so easy to get items. The lowbies usually don't keep the stuff for long anyway, which works in the favor of those who know where to get the stuff, and blah blah blah. I could ramble on forever, but you get the point. There's reasons it's the way it is, and I don't think it's ever gonna change (geeze, I'm starting to sound like the imms)

... end of ramble

Well, taking your caravan scenario. Don't you think it would be a bit difficult for a raider to instantly take everything off your body and load it onto his? Not to mention using that scenario, the raider would most likely poke around looking for valuables rather than just instantly taking everything trash included.

And, just trying to slow it down some, not stop it. So people actually have to look instead of just blindly taking everything that fits into their inventory.

If he has time, yes, he'll poke through things. However, if he's got the merchant's business partner coming down towards him with a small army of mercenaries, he's going to take anything he can find and bolt. I rather agree, starting off naked sucks and all, but the Imms have been nice enough to help us out there with outfit for ghosts now, etc.

Ok thanks. Figured it had already been argued.

Realize in CF terms it can take HOURS to get back to your corpse. Even if you run with super speed, it's going to take a few minutes. With that, what I wouldn't mind seeing is taking out the function of "get all corpse" when the person who's corpse it is, is in the same room. I think then there should be some lag associated, since it would be more of a "grab-for-all". Of course this would have the opposite affect you want, because there would be more "get all corpse" in general, so they wouldn't have to worry about it. My advice, stop worrying, and deal with it as it is. That's my last bit of advice.
