Sometimes when I kill an enemy the sparkle effect showing they are lootable will appear as they are dying but disappear almost immediately; occasionally a little afterwards. Normally I would think this just a minor graphical bug. However, I am forced to conclude otherwise based on:

1. Their bodies lingering far longer than those that were looted or truly dropped nothing
2. Crafters that 'harvest' my kills will /always/ skip these indicating that loot is present
3. Enemies that should consistently drop a certain item, typically quest related, won't drop anything at all
4. Rarely, the sparkle effect will reappear just before the corpse vanishes; pressing 'R' will cause me to run towards it

This isn't exactly a common occurrence, but it still happens far too often. Has anyone else experienced this?

Yes, this has been happening to me, too.. so weird. I can't loot it for crafting, either. It happened something like 5 times in a row when I was doing Alfancs.. such a tease. :sob: It didn't happen at all for me during the beta.

I ran into this a lot too... was really annoying as a Chef since I couldn't loot or collect from about a quarter of the monsters I killed.

The only thing I can add is the detail that the monster sparkles normally, but after your character runs up to it the sparkles go away and your character never kneels down to loot it.

I have that too. But I am a guy of many assumptions so I assumed that it is kind of on purpose. Like he goes up and finds it empty so it's like you took a chance and ended up getting none. But that does not make any sense so what's up?

Look at the beta bug report master list. This is one of the known bugs. I don't know if any of them have been fixed because of being unable to create an account myself.

Yeah, sometimes enemies will sparkle, I come to them and they stop sparkling, right after defeating them. I didn't have this bug in beta however. Only when it decayed the item looting.

As an artisan, I can confirm this bug, and it is very irritating. Enemies sparkle, indicating that they have loot, and then when you attempt to loot them, the sparkles disappear and the corpse can't be looted or harvested. Makes me wonder how many items I'm missing out on. I find this really odd because this never happened to me in the beta.

I noticed this seems to happen with quest collection too. (Like when an NPC tells you to go gather from rocks/flowers/etc.) You run up to the object and then it just fades away without letting you collect.

I haven't noticed on the collecting - that might be from a thief in hide getting there before you.

People can't loot others' things unless in a party. (If they are in hide in your party, you can see them transparently.) You also can't skin something until all loot is gone.

Earlier I was grinding for a particular item and, unsurprisingly, had numerous occurrences of this. After a few minutes, I turned around to see all of those corpses glittering again. Trying to loot them only made the glittering vanish again. This has only served to confuse me more on the matter.

Oh, I know, I meant for the poster that indicated they were having trouble with the quests that required you to forage for items. Those disappearing is probably hide, whereas it's a bug otherwise due to the looting restrictions.

Belatedly, I meant quest items that should always drop from mobs, like GTB. I haven't noticed anything happen in regards to foraged quest items, although I wonder if the times I couldn't forage something was because a hidden character had already clicked to harvest it. I did that a lot on SEA to screw with people... >_>
