If characters do loot their enemies, it's usually for a specific purpose, and short term: e.g. in Star Wars they take storm trooper armor for use as a disguise, but discard it when that purpose is complete. They don't have a big "looting party" after the sail barge is destroyed. Second, it restricts the kind of things you can put in your villains' hands, because it becomes "free stuff" for the PCs. | |
