Corpses are never FFA. Once you kill a mob, its corpse is yours. You might want to loot it, you might want an alt/buyer to loot it, or you might want to let it rot to teach it a lesson. But it's never FFA, unless the person who owns it tells you its A-Okay to loot it.

Will most people care if you loot their scraps? No, probably not. But being polite doesn't cost you anything, and makes everything simple for everyone.
