Suggestion #13665

Items getting disappeared

I'm making this suggestion because I've personally lost multiple valuable items in ways that just don't make sense, and other players have literally watched it happen.

These weren't cases of me dying, getting scammed, or accidentally dropping something.

One time, I was using a nearly maxed spear with plenty of durability left, and it just vanished.

Another time, I was giving a valuable item to a trusted friend. We were in a completely isolated area, nobody else was around, I dropped the item, and it simply disappeared before it could be picked up.

I've also had a maxed Wind Burst III Boss Hunter mace vanish during friendly PvP.

Every time, it's the same story: the item is there one second and gone the next.

No death.
No pickup notification.
No player nearby.
No item on the ground.

Just gone.

What makes this so frustrating is that these aren't random throwaway items. Some of them take weeks or even months of grinding to get. If I lose an item because I died or made a mistake, that's on me. But losing it because it seemingly gets deleted from existence is a completely different story.

And before anyone says it's just a visual bug or bad luck, I've had other players witness these incidents happen in real time. I'm also not the only person who's experienced this.

Suggested Solutions

• Item deletion/despawn logs for staff.
• A way to see an item's last known location.
• Protection against items being lost due to bugs.
• A recovery system for confirmed server-side item losses.

I'm not asking for free gear.

I just want some way to find out what happened when a valuable item disappears for no apparent reason.

Because spending weeks grinding for something only to watch it vanish into thin air is honestly one of the most frustrating things that can happen on the server.
