It's a pretty IC thing. Killing someone is definitely bad, but taking their things is also very bad. Stunning someone and taking their things is arguably much worse than killing someone and leaving their things, and there isn't much difference at all between killing someone and looting all their things versus killing someone and looting all their things. However, stunning someone and full-looting them is hardly punished at all, compared to murder, but the lawl code hasn't caught up to that realization yet. Before the "get all" change it was too much work and too uncertain to stun someone and then attempt to loot them before something went wrong. Now it's extremely easy.
By the way, I'm not complaining because this is happening to me. In fact, I've done this once to one of Peso's characters and I only had to serve a crime of theft and assault and battery for it. I'm pointing this out because I've already seen it happen to lower-level members of my tribunal by people who were at war with my tribunal and didn't want to get banished. I don't blame the guy who did it either: According to the code, that's the most effective way to go about war with a trib.
I don't think anyone is trying to blame anyone here. And OOCly and ICly it absolutely sucks to have your gear (investments) stolen.
I just want to make sure we try to isolate and talk about the problem before settling on a solution.
Removing "Get All" might solve the problem, but it may not be the best way to solve the problem.
And the problem as I've heard isn't necessarily about "get all" it's about criminal recourse.
I'm honestly not even sure what the breadth of the criminal flags are, but I would be supportive of tribunals having a modicum of control over such things.
Maybe that's not the ideal solution, though. Maybe it's adding a new level of crime, as you say.
Maybe it's adding a degree of lag when looting corpses / bodies (as it takes time to take things off a body, etc.) - Though that solution would have ramifications to people who were looting their own bodies.
