Loot respawn rate

[Zakificus 10]

I wanted to see if anyone else has been experiencing the same thing I have.

Starting earlier today (hours ago) I looted my way around the map. Started in berenzio, neaf, nwaf, Stary, etc. hit like 30 different high loot areas all over the map. A few minutes ago I got back to berenzio, and have found the exact same loot piles from before. I know because the first time around I found a few good things and dropped items to fit them. For example there was a convenience store with a piece of raw meat and civilian clothes in a pile. This doesn't occur naturally.

It was my understanding that loot is supposed to despawn when a player enters the area if it is old 'old loot' then respawn after a timer. At this rate it seems like the only way I'd ever get new loot is to clear it all with loot piling, which frankly I consider an exploit and am not going to do.

Am I just experiencing a bugged server or is this just how it works for everyone at the moment?

Pretty much how it is for now. I can see it changing soon due to the obvious exploit.

That loot as far as I know will remain there until server restart. I play on a server that doesnt restart often and I see the same loot sitting in a pile sometimes for days.

The loot mechanics need to be changed because as it is now loot cycling is the only way to obtain new loot once everything good has been picked through.
