It appears to me that CCP is aware that this is a problem, and not working as intended, and as he said in his several answers, they are looking into the problems, and will work on solving it.
But neither he, or anyone else can answer my original questions :
Why can he salvage my wrecks, but not loot them? Why can I not pick up your research BPO/manyfacturing outpur from a lab? Why is it not "my" mission area, when I am commisioned by Caldari Navy to solve a problem there?
Perhaps a bit of history would help. I trained and started salvaging the day the skill was released. When the skill was released, you had to loot the wreck first before you could salvage it, additionally you could not tell which wrecks you had looted due to a graphics bug, salvaging was slow and people complained. The graphics bug was fixed, but people still complained about having to loot every wreck. So CCP relented and allowed people to salvage wrecks before looting them, allowing faster looting but adding the problem you have now.
As CCP thinking this is a problem, you need to realize that CCP has known about this for a while and done nothing about it. One can easily conculde they don't see this as a problem. Besides what do you think they will do? Shard missions - doubtful they have long stated they are against that. Concord response - no, they want conflict in their game. Criminal flagging - possible, but it will have no real impact, people still jump in and loot missions anyway. Prevent people jumping into missions - no, this is what they want.
Bottom line adapt and ignore it, or move to a quieter system. Truthfully, as you get more experienced running missions, you'll quickly realize it isn't worth your time looting and salvaging. You mission in Motsu for the LP's and payouts (as you stated), not for salvage which is the same as any other system. In the time I loot/salvage, I can easily run one to two more missions - earning far more money in that same time. Voice your frustrations on these forums if it makes you feel better, but step back and try to see it from CCP's perspective. They don't want "safe, non-PVP zones", EVE's charm is it's brutal, unrelenting nature (much like space itself).
Lastly I do not ninja-salvage other people's missions. I can't be bothered wasting my time. I have salvaged other's people's wrecks in belts or complexes since I occasionally look for certain types of salvage, but I always ask in local if it's ok first.
