As explained before:
The settings were changed to be in line with the rest of the ruleset on PvE servers and to unify all the settings to make a distinction that should have been there from the beginning. It was also linked to a bug with quick looting.
We have however already collected the feedback from the PvE community on this and we took it back to the team. We already have discussions internally on how and in which form to bring back “scavenging”.
So we hear you and it’s being looked at.
