Some people should just not be allowed to DM.

You want the DM to tell them about the rubies on the ground because they said they wanted to loot the bodies?

I want the DM to tell them because they walked into the room, and their characters would obviously have seen them. It is part of the DM’s job to convey to the players what their characters perceive. Withholding things that are readily apparent to the characters just because the players didn’t explicitly ask for it is just shitty DMing.

Agreed, and nothing in my post is to the contrary. It's the whole "revealing it upon looting an unrelated object" part that I don't jive with. The whole thing reeks of omitting some details, no other way I can see it make sense.
