This is in complete contradiction to three cases I saw last weekend. Each
time all the player had to say is "I found my corpse but couldn't target it
to loot it" And the corpses were moved.

Perhaps I am splitting hairs here - because I guess it is a "verifiable bug"
that they couldn't loot their corpse. However - with the Locate Corpse
Rod - they easily could - so if Verant wanted to play real tough they could
refuse.

However - it seems that their claims of trying to avoid favoritism is not
correct - and they are being far from consistent..
