Time. And in some cases, danger. I vividly remember trying to loot ores and equips at MP3 on my cleric... monsters would spawn and hit me, Healing myself aggro'ed still more of them... I live 10,000 miles from Nexon and have horrible loot lag, can pick up maybe one item per second, so looting everything takes a long time and exposes me to many hits.
On my main I've always looted every copper coin and snail shell, because I was unfunded and needed them all. Nowadays I have a looting pet, but still make sure to get items that drop where it doesn't want to go (some maps are really bad for pet loot, due to random little platforms items fall up onto). However, on mules that don't have a pet (pretty much all of them), I usually don't bother with anything but equips, scrolls, and the occasional valuable ore, powder, or potion. I want those mules to get to level <whatever> ASAP, so not willing to spend time for relatively small amounts of meso.
