This is what I have learned all my time looting. EVENTUALLY you WILL find it. If your that se on finding somehting you can eventually get it. Imaine if you trade for a weapon you want more, Then that day or within the week you get that item. Wouldn't that be bad? Plus looting is probably one of the best things ever added to the game Trading with other pirates would make looting pointless.
