I have no idea why though, I take everything.

I don't need all that crap cluttering up my inventory, It'll slow me down in the long run because my inventory will constantly be full and I'd need to drop stuff. It takes about 2 seconds to consciously loot, and a minimum of 10 to clear out your inventory.

LOOT ALL THE THINGS. I know some people that don't loot everything cause they don't want to take care of it after if its trash gear, but to me that is a waste of money. Auto loot goes faster and ever since they added the item display thing when you loot something its been easy to see what you got too, and lootlog addons makes it even better. No reason what so ever not to have auto loot.

Didn't know there was a "not while stealing option", will be turning auto-loot on next time I play!

I use it, but for those who are like "who wouldn't use it"...

I know someone who is max all bank and has millions of gold so when we run trials he just nitpicks the items he wants off the dead bodies.

I assume everyone that doesn't use autoloot are the a**holes that will loot alchemy flowers and leave the worms behind.

Watch your tongue kid, I don't use autoloot and I loot worms for bait. But when I see that runestone has only Ta and Deteri then I leave it for someone who would want that. If I loot every bandit I killed then my inventory would be overloaded before even second boss.

Then go buy some more inventory space, doesn't cost that much gold. Also since you have already done the animation for picking it up, why not loot it? Seems a waste, everything has a price.

I use auto loot just cause I hate seeing people leave opened chests all the time so annoying

Please know that whoever finds that node or chest with your trash in curses you to get vampirism the old school way. (hint: it's getting banged by Molag Bol... ask Lamae about it)

Indeed, the people that leave stuff out of nodes are extremely inconsiderate, I mean even to themselves. If you do a rotation of nodes and don't take it fully then it won't respawn, its a D move no matter how you look at it.

Just so you all know, it has been proven, and if you have the patience you can prove it yourself, that partially looted nodes do refresh themselves. It just on a 5 minute timer or so.

I don't leave stuff in nodes/chests - I've hated people who do that since early WoW.

But that doesn't mean I want to deal with all the junk I'd pick up if I had auto-loot on. I search barrels/bags/cabinets/everything. But I only want some of the things in those containers, and they're instanced just for me. The Loot All key is good enough for those rare cases where I do want all the loot in that corpse/box/sack.

(Even when I was subbed with a craft bag, I still didn't turn on auto-loot. I don't want every piece of civilian clothing, every already-known cooking recipe, and every 0-value sword.)

This, the only downside is then you change direction, dismount and pick it just to find an worm, as I use auto loot i might not notice that its just a worm on the loot list.

Never

I'm not subscriber so I don't loot trash. I don't understand why I should have auto-loot, If clicking 'R' to loot all takes less than one second and burns calories at your finger.

Exactly.
I don't want to grab every item, for most of them I simply do not have a use for and some are too cheap to sell them.
So I just take the ones I can sell for a good amount of money.

I don't have infinite money. my next inventory upgrade costs 20k and I need this money to buy myself a house and motif pages from guild traders. I don't care If I wasted two seconds for animation. I'd need another ten seconds to destroy trash I just collected without reason to my inventory.
