I think that most people have forgotten the main aspect of this. Time. It takes time to take down a room of 40+ rats. Even with my Sentry IIs blasting away at optimal and me firing off my missiles, it could take 20-30 minutes for one pocket.
In comes the ninja who had to spend a few minutes to scan for me and warp to me. Starts to take my wrecks and usually has some ECM going or can jump out quickly. It takes time to do the mission. Real life time. This is a game, not a job. I really don't want to spend my free time having a large portion of my reward being taken by someone who hasn't earned it.
Yes, the salvage is a part of the reward. Don't try and separate the wreck from the mission. If the mission never happened, the wreck wouldn't be there. I can easily make 10+ mil on loot alone. The mission reward is what, 2 mil? Bounties make up half of the reward, unless you are running missions against navy ships, in which case, all of your reward is in the tags. Most of those defending this are more than likely the ones who are doing the pirating.
Point being, I play the game for fun. This is hardly carebearing. I'm not asking that you somehow remove pirates from 0.4 or that you ban people from salvaging from wrecks you find in complexes, belts, or other. Ninja salvaging in a mission is a little overboard. I have better ways of wasting my time then in aggravation. No, I'm not leaving. No you can't have my stuff.
I think you're confusing looting and salvaging. The OP was referring to pilots not being flagged (ie legally shootable) when they salvage one of your wrecks. Your complaint seems to be about taking loot such as tags etc which will flag a pilot so that you can shoot them.
Keep in mind that this is primarily a multi-player (largely) PvP game. Wherever you are you will have to interact in some way with other players. Sometimes that involves making the decision about whether or not to shoot them when you are legally allowed to in order to protect what is yours. If you're not so keen on the mulit-player aspect, there are plenty of single-player options out there for you (EV Nova, Freelancer, Darkstar one, WC: Privateer, Elite...), and they even lack the recurring fee aspect.
