yeah, never looted when i was boosting from DM/VC thru to ramps. the only exception being the blues from ZF and up. they paid for the repair bills, flight, porting and training expenses.

and yes, when mage was drinking, i had another toon doing some looting until mage was full. and when the instance was finished, i would have to go back and if i see a mob sparkling, i know that it's got an epic on it. :thumbsup:

with regards to changes in looting, if you have one screen, u can use interact-with-target while ur main is recovering (target mob with main, enable click-to-move, hit interact-with-target keybind on the other toon, and presto). other than that, as was said earlier, it still takes the same amount of time when looting corpses. but as for gathering herbs, ores, skinning, looting untargettable quest items, and such - these things have their time-to-loot sped up.
