I think it's way past time designers started to actually find a better way for loot drops.
Why do i get man made weapons and equipment when i kill an animal? This has always bugged me.. it can't be that hard to write an algorithm that restricts loot to the type of creature you kill.. animals should only give fur, leather, meat etc whereas when you kill a human you may get some euqipment etc.
It can't be that hard.
