It should be legal. Account sharing shenanigans should be inherently risk.

I agree with this -- if you leave an item on a corpse with no one to lock it -- it should be a risk to log out, log into another toon to loot.

I also get the reason why the rule is in place. Say you have a 60 druid and you kill a level 35 quest NPC so your level 14 troll shaman can get their snare necklace.

But - get a friend maybe? Tell your friend to lock the corpse while you log over. Or just wait until you're level appropriate to do the quest? Or maybe get some help with the quest on the toon you want it looted on? There's lots of other options rather than leaving an item on a corpse, logging out, and then petitioning when someone loots it when youre logged out.

It also contradicts other rules. If someone is killing a spawn, and logging out in between respawns to play another toon. (Say in a zone with a 27 minute respawn on named PH) Then another player can log in, sit at the camp and claim it because there's nobody there. But if we go by the loot rules, then the original player should still have claim even though they were logged out. (Spoiler: they don't)

Suspending players who unknowingly loot another player's quest item because they logged out only reinforces the uber-leet-antisocial-players' behavior of playing a multiplayer game completely solo.
