The new way of having to open up the corpse gets old real quick.
By the time I check the corpse for items and harvest the hides or meat under the new system the other corpses have that much more time to decay.
If I am fighting a group of creatures I get a screen that won't remember its size on the next corpse I open..thus blinding me from 2/3's of whats going on. The game is becoming quite tedious as a form of "fun"
Its bad enough that the wild spawns are screwed up thus forcing me to have to group with people in order to hunt certain creatures for resources...
1step forward 2 steps back.
JMHO.

Was this a new patch to go in today? I double clicked things yesterday and got all my loot, Money and Items. So I'm not sure why it's not working for you. . . Though double clicking doesn't work sometimes when the same person has looted all on the menu

Try it in a group yet?
Even on the radial menu only the "Loot" option works for me....."Loot All" does not work.

ahh haven't tried it in a group. but isn't there a mode in the looting that is free for all which is the same thing as it was before. your leader of teh bgroup must have master looter on and i think that is what the defult is.

Got the same problem here in a gruop. Free for all is on, but stil the only way to loot is by using the "loot" on the radial.
Doubleclick works nicely when im solo though.

I just made a macro for /lootall then binded it to a key. Whenever I kill something I just hit the key and loot all the items.

looks like it may be that if you have any macros running you can't loot.

When playing solo you may use the /loot, /lootall, and the double-click command but when in a group you can only bring up the radial and click loot and select your loot from the box. They did this to try and deterr group loot thiefs but in essence will just tick us off more. You cannot bring up the loot window in a fight so I found that when I'm in a group and a big fight al alone I cannot loot a corpse until I am not fighting anymore and with the increasedcreature spawn rate typically my first 3-5 corpses disappear before I am able to get out of combat to loot anything now. So I am finding that I am possibly losing some really good loot b/c of this new "fix" that is more or a hinderance than a help.

Professional AFK macro-looters use third-party programs anyway. I have no clue why SOE is trying tocripple the already crummy built-in macro system in an effort to go after the bad guys. They just don't get it.
Yep, these new changes make it no fun at all to do missions on, for example, Aakuan's. I had to resort to grouping with my alt, each of us pulling out a probot, getting low-level Aaku'an missions with fewer loot drops, and setting my alt to /follow me. Really sad part is, I got a lot more accomplished this way than I did in a solo group trying to use the new @#$#@% radial menu loot system. When I was in a group and forced into point-and-click slavery, I spent a lot more time trying to loot the freakin' corpses than fighting and travelling combined. I'm just about ready to give up on SWG, as all the devs seem to be doing is carelessly putting out fires and hosing the rest of us in the process. Bah humbug.
