Sure but now you're introducing a bunch of problems that never existed in the first place.

How do you determine who "owns" that corpse? There's nothing in the game to allow you to do this, and just because someone is sitting by a corpse doesn't mean that they killed the mob. There's no way to ensure that the person allowing you to loot a corpse ever had authority to do such a thing in the first place.

Investigating the whos, whats, whys, whens, and hows of corpse ownership also takes an investment of time beyond just looting the corpse. What if the person doesn't respond? What if you can't track down the owner? What if someone else just loots it while you're performing your investigation?

Now you've turned one of the most simple and agreed on parts of the game into an inquisition.
