You aren't able to loot another person's kills, however if you see another person make the kill you can (as a chef/artisan) snipe their harvest, and I'm not sure if it's still in at the moment, do so before they actually have looted thus removing the enemy and it's drops from the field.

 

Perhaps a compromise is in order.   Personally it doesn't bother me too much, so take with grain of salt and spoonful of sugar:

 

Allow the hiding gather, but slow the rate of the gather down.  Movement is slowed during hide, so why not gather?  A level 1 thief can still gather in high level areas, but not as fast as higher leveled character who is actively dispersing with enemies.

I'm absolutely against it. I consider it a benefit of picking a thief in the first place. Very useful for getting herb gathering quests done in as little time as possible.

 

Hide gathering isn't hurting anyone, especially if you're a lone wolf on an unpopulated server where there are no other players who's kills you could loot. I actually wasn't even aware you could loot other player's kills. 

 

Yeah. I play solo, and hide is how I survive. I can't imagine gathering materials on my ranger without being hidden.

Wouldn't the best solution be making it so that gathering and changing channels can be done while in combat? Hide classes turn invisible so they don't get noticed, so why can't tank classes just go along doing their business without giving half a damn about the petty damage coming in? Hide still gives an advantage, but other classes don't need to worry about having to clear all mobs to gather, or the more aggravating issue of getting interrupted while gathering.

hmm....why don't they increase the duration for ownership of the killed monster before the losers with no sense of guilt comes and harvest?
