    First started noticing this in R35, but it has continued into R36
    Since I switched to using "E" to loot mobs, I've noticed the following problem when looting in quick succession. Trying to get a screenshot, but it doesn't occur every time, but it happens often enough.

    A) Kill two+ mobs so they are very close to each other.

    B) Use the "E" key to loot in quick succession

    Sometimes in step B), on the second+ mob, the loot window will show up empty. Usually, it occurs while I'm hitting "E" a second time to quickly loot what it has, so I miss the opportunity to screenshot it. Since there is ZERO log of what you did or didn't loot off of a mob (This *really* needs to be an option we can dump out to a chat window), I don't know if I really looted nothing, or if it was simply a delay while drawing the loot frame, and I actually ended up with something from the mob in question.

    I think what you're observing here is the attempt to loot an already-looted body before it despawns, which would display an empty UI.

    Incorrect. :) Or, the body I wanted to loot is disappearing without being looted. Which would also be a bug. I.e., I'm only looting 2 times for 2 bodies. First time there are goodies, second time there is not. And in any case, I wait for the first body to dissolve before looting the second one, so I don't really think that's the case either.

    Again, the ability to *log* what we looted, which is standard on all other MMO's I've played would be useful.

    In fact today, it happened to me twice now when just looting solo mobs.

    @Attenwood Just happened to me for the 3rd time today on a solo mob. I *did* hear the "jingle" of coins when I looted, so I think I'm actually getting loot. But again, because this game fails to allow you to log out your loots, I cannot easily confirm this.

    You are looting so fast that the loot is taken by the time the UI pops up the loot window. At least that what I assumed was happening when I observed this.
    YES!! WE NEED LOOT LOGGING as a misc message.

    @Attenwood this is exactly what it is. If you double tap E with the right interval, you end up looting before the loot screen can draw with the items in it, so it comes up blank.
