That would make sense, although one of my favorite PKs was a 2v2 when my teammate died at the same time as one of my enemies, so I grabbed their heal potions and quaffed them mid-combat to win.
Although I'd like it if that ability wasn't taken away, I can see the wisdom in making fights -more- about winning by having to win before you can loot.
The reason I don't really like the idea, though, is that back row people will still be able to get all/recall.

When given the choice to wimp 'lighten load' or wimp the "get" command, I'll choose lighten load. Especially since I'm not a big fan of NPC-only buffs anyway, and lighten load in particular just allows for people to grab entire corpses without a care in the world or even a penalty to their dodge rating most of the time.
Oh, and disarming either leaves the weapon in the disarmed person's inventory, or drops it on the ground. It can do either.
