    It would be great if I could loot containers(sacks/cabinets/etc.) while my weapon is equipped just like I can loot destroyed crates/barrels while it's equipped.

    Rather difficult to rummage through debris and search containers while holding a large weapon.

    Yea, but you can loot bodies, harvest cotton, and mine ore while your weapon is out.

    Personally, I think they should get rid of all in-combat restrictions and just add a (short) loot timer like suggested here which can increase in time for PvP scenarios. I think there was some logic to restricting looting in combat, which was to create scenarios where a player puts himself at risk to loot unless he stealths in. But the mechanics of entering and exiting combat mode are a bit clumsy, and I think the change I've suggested would work a lot better for tbat purpose (as well as for a lot of other purposes ).

    Nonetheless, I agree with the OP and it sounds like an oversight.

    Had it... took it away... had it again.... took it away... Not sure why... but I think having to sheathe your weapon to loot is plain stupid. I wouldn't do it in RL.

    I wouldn't mind it, if exiting combat mode didn't sometimes take 10 seconds after putting away your weapon.

    In release 50 they let you destroy/loot crates and barrels while holding your weapon. I'm just asking that this is extended to sacks/containers/etc. as well, because it's just as unrealistic that I can destroy a crate while holding my weapon and still manage to loot it too.

    I don't know, I think it would be a lot easier to smash a crate with a sword than to carefully open a sack.

    They removed the ability do that months ago, because people were going into dungeon areas, then looting the whole room while being beat upon by a dozen mobs. In particular, the big loot treasure chest. They relented on crates presumably because it was such a pain in the ass, and you still have to walk up to it and pause for a moment to break it. Also, crates have a much shorter range than any other container looting.
