People have been using loot mules since forever.
The only problem with the new Empress and RA is that the total amount of loot has increased drastically (even more than sixfold, if I understood correctly). I expect that to change. The individual loot system, by itself, is a good thing.
I'm all for individual loot. Let's get a random group together and there's no problems with loot stealers. (cwkpq & MoNs)
But, there is a difference between one-of-a-kind (untradeable) items, and fully tradeable RA loots. you needed the loot mule because zakum would drop more helms than a soloer could pick up. Before Party-Loot, any one person could loot all the RA/Empress drops, exactly equivalent to your "sell for myself" comment. Neither boss needed a loot-mule.
Post Party-Loot, a single player can take multiple accounts, all for self profit. I am against this kind of abuse, because of how drastically Party-Loot increases the total amount of drops the soloer gets. Take a whole attacking party into the boss and everyone who fights, gets to come out with a chance for loot, and not free-for-all loot madness like cwkpq.
What happens if nexon says RA equips are untradeable? Wouldn't that make the Party-Loot system equivalent to your zakum (or HTP) example? But of course people would outrage. Let the merchers buy a scissor to sell, just like zhelm & htp. Let the looters pay for runs and a random chance for drops.

[MENTION=4235]KhainiWest[/MENTION]; how about actually contributing to the discussion and not just flaming suggestions for improvements. If you dont like my suggestions that's fine. I'd like to see you offer any improvement suggestions, because the current Party-Loot at RA/Empress is unbalanced and broken.
