I don't think it has anything at all to do with looting itself. What I've noticed is AFK combatno longer works. If you're marked "AFK", then your attacks don't land -- they enter the combat queue, and the queue empties, but the attacks don't actually get performed. In testing, I had several mobs surrounding me, and they were "red". Several more ran up, still "yellow". I toggled afk, and performed several attacks on the yellow mobs, and some unarmedspin2's. They stayed yellow, and my combat channel didn't log anyswings by me at all. I toggled afk off, and immediately the attacks started landing and the yellow mobs aggro'd red.
A stealth fix that marks the end of afk looting.. not a bad thing by any means.

You'll be seeing alot of that, I think. The devs are slowly taking away the things that people have abused, namely repeating macros. No more buffbots, no more spam toons, no more AFK camping. AFK fighting was only intended to keep you from dying if you had to go take a poop anyway, not as a method of playing the game. I never really understood that anyway..........pay $15 a month to let the game play itself? Crazy.

Ohnoes! What are the masses going to do when they actually have to play the game?
