It is not so much the looting (though it adds the extra element of surprise if you find the vanq hally) as what games have been since they don't have it. The main intent is to strike the fear of loss in someone's mind and have them smash their keyboard over their monitor when they die. Rezzing in 30 seconds and rolling straight back into battle with no consequences just makes death painless for our victims.
Imagine if you could loot purples and take over cities in Wow?
