Per the release notes:

However, having agro and even being in combat mode does not prevent me from looting, as long as the creatures are far enough away not to interrupt me.

 

What is it you're looting? Bodies? Chests/Containers?

 

Bodies. Thugs and Soldiers.

 

That's by design. We aren't restricting corpse looting.

 

Ok, I'm confused as to the intent of the change. Was this to prevent people from running through control points? Just want to know what I should report. (And sorry, I don't want to bug you guys with stuff that isn't a problem!)

 

We were observing exploiters that would enter scenes, ignore enemies, heal themselves, and run to the ends to claim the loot. This was a modest implementation to add a check against those players.

 

Excellent, thanks for the explanation!

 

Ahhh that makes sense, was gonna report the same today. On a good note, I was blocked from looting some quest things while aggroed and weapons sheathed (which began a fierce battle with 3 liches and ended with me looting everything) , so that is working as intended then! And the undead aren't as scary as they could have been!
