Thoughts on only being able to loot trade skill craftable jewelry regardless of if it is bagged? (Earrings + rings + necklaces)
Just proposing outside the normal all or nothing approach (not sure if it was mentioned in other threads, not reading them all this week.)

meh.. to me, jewelry = wis gear + resists, and some enchanter charisma, and 55 hp rings. maybe some dex for rogues. -- are you including masks and bracers in this as jewelry?
i guess we gotta remember that this is Teams, so it will be harder to gank ppl who are staying safe and remain on their own territory to level with their wis gear not banked, but still feel the hardest hit is on these wis casters. For me, I'd probably roll without any jewelcrafted resists (diamonds/jacinths) unless I was raiding with my guild, and if there was gonna be pvp.. maybe not even. Probably only put on my resist gear if I was going to go out with a gank squad for a hit and run on the enemy territory. And I was a caster (or stayed near a zoneline).

Going to say it again here again, I think the best item loot is
stackables + charged clickies.
Stackable items include, for example: food/drink, silks, skins, bone chips, malachites, gems, arrows, bait, throwing weapons/boulders, runes/words/pages, many other craftwork items, etc. Almost all of these are no big deal to lose. (Only thing i can think of ppl might be truly sad about are diamonds). When you kill someone, he's almost guaranteed to be carrying one of these things.
Charged clickies: shaman potions, vendor potions, pumice, gate pots, etc. ***conflag wands, snare/root clickies, etc. - even though these are PvE only right now, maybe that will change? i thought the nerf on all the clickies was a bit extreme, only trak tooth was really OP. even hoops weren't that bad because they are so rare.). Items with 0 charges left should no longer be lootable - lets you wear an Ivandyr's hoop, that shield with 10 charges of rune on it, etc.
The idea with both the stackable items, and the clickies, is that these are basically expendable items that you would use up anyway - and if you're a baller and always run with full 10-charge shaman potions, then you can afford to lose em. Or if you're a poor ranger and have nothing else of value to loot, then your water or pumice stone might be missing.
The point is, no one is losing any precious pixels, but it will still be worth your while to peruse their corpse and check for useful items. And every once in awhile you might land a big catch on a high roller, gank a bug group in seb or maybe an afk jewelcrafter inside his Team's stronghold.
