Does anyone actually pickup the gold coins from the corpses these days?
Depends on the character I'm on. Malag NEVER loots gold. As he's a Chivy/Bushido/Archer... between the 12-15 bows, 200 or so bandages and 3 full quivers he honestly can't carry anything much. I try to save room for a drop if I get one and relic worthy awesome items non-cursed, not Antique stuff... though he will ALWAYS pick up those 100% weapons and all gems since gems don't weigh much... and items he can send to the bank quick with a bag of sending.
My tamers all loot everything and anything... since they just carry books and bandages, ..... my sampire loots to a point but worries about weight a little bit..... my mages loot everything.
To be honest it's been so long since I've looted Gold on Malag half the time I don't even notice how much is on the mobs anymore. Since I use him more often than most of my other characters. Which sometimes bleeds over and then I don't loot gold for awhile and then I remember and it's like crap I could have been looting!
