Back in the day full looting was to be expected. You kill someone, probably not knowing what they are wearing, then grab all you or your merc can hold and run and see what you got. Was quite fun. When happened to you, was no good - especially when you just had shit eq in the first place. saccing was a practice for cabal wars mostly - to weaken the other cabal as much as possible, or grab all the shit and bring it to your cabal.
corpseguard helped, and generally the culture has changed. Probably most players now already know what all the eq is at a glance and don't have to take it, run away and id/try on everything.
I've had lowbies get full looted quite a few times this year, but never with a 40+ char in recent times. Also, lowbiw lootting still a big prob! maybe it wasn't a full sac...
Full sac hah
