    Title: Corpses block spawns
    Reproduction Rate: 100%
    Blocker?YES
    Details: One person can effectively deny an entire area in multiplayer, by killing without looting, which extends the time to respawn more than 3x or longer, since it requires the corpses to be gone/looted before the respawn. I say this while wandering throuh greymark and noticing i've completed two whole circuits with corpses littering the ground from someone before me. 90% of the spawns are disabled
    Steps to Reproduce:Run through an area, kliling everything, but don't touch a corpse, or leave one item on each. You can clear the entire area before you get back to start. This allows mass area denial and forces people to switch instance.

    Let me re-stress this.

    Due to the fact that corpses block spawns and are now unlootable for way longer than the spawn duration to nonkillers, a group or very efficient single player can now lock an entire area out in multiplayer from others hunting.

    By leaving their corpses, you might argue they lose out on loot. However their time to complete a circuit is less than the corpse decay time. When they complete their circuit, they loot the corpses they left, causing a near-immediate spawn, thereby preventing anyone else from hunting in on "their spawns" and forcing people to leave multiplayer for fpo or spo, which is incorrigible.

    I would like to put a vote in for the change to only affect Multiplayer.
    I play single-player online and like the idea of being able to skin and loot at my leisure.
