I don't even see how you can make a connection between unlooted corpses and botters. It's like saying "No one is buying milk, so they must Aliens who are allergic to it."

Every single botting program I've ever seen will loot each kill you get. I think that's one of the main reason bot programs were created; so you don't have to grind for items for hours.

Sigh next time ill just contact a mod if every post here that isnt massive praise to the server gets you people's panties in a bunch ffs...

edit: thanks for the normal responses, I guess Ive just been lucky with bag drops because I hardly ever got full (or I run back a lot to sell since there isnt a mob around half the time anyway)

Well, it's hard to take you seriously, when you're bashing people so rapidly. We'd love too report bugs and hear about 'em, but not in the way you're putting it :?

I believe the reason is entirely different. On first days people made groups to increase a chance of tagging a mob and getting a kill towards a quest. They also spread out a bit to cover larger area again to increase a chance of tagging a freshly re-spawned mob.

I'm pretty sure the loot stayed default group loot in 99% of cases, which resulted in players not being near the mob to loot it after it was killed, which resulted in a loot staying in a corpse, which resulted in upset skinner, who came to the wrong conclusions.

When I realized, that I won't be getting any herbs, I also came to conclusion, that skinning is a profession, that actually benefits from crowded areas. I believe OP was skinning quest beasts, which, probably, means those beasts were killed by a group.
Tanking is all about heavy steel and harsh language.

I'm assuming you are talking about dead beasts that you can't skin. While skinning might be a good profession for some easy starting gold, it does get kinda meh later on, as the leathers/scraps don't sell for that much on vendors. Also, beasts tend to drop really low value greys sometimes, so people might not loot them at all and get the mail armor/ weapons that might drop from humanoids instead and have a much higher value.

I just said that it's pretty funny that botters are the first thing that came to your mind when seeing some unlooted corpses.
