I don't understand this 'realism' argument and I think it surely must be a troll. So in my view the regular situation with the item swap is when you have a gun in your hand and you say find a can of drink. Is it really realistic that you wouldn't notice or realise that you have swapped your AK onto a table and left because you picked up a drink? And also, isn't it just pointless - if we are talking realism, if are hands were really occupied by a weapon preventing us from picking up an item, wouldn't we return the weapon to our shoulder before picking up the item? But whatever - gaslight away you realism warriors lol

'after longer discussions in the team' lol So I need to understand this becuae it isn't that clear to me. So, a change was made which was intended, but then I guess lots of people either weren't told about this change or that it was intended, some kind of industrial secret or something, thus when I raised it in feedback it got listed twice as a known issue, but now after a long discussion, you have managed to work out and understand that it was an intended feature all along - which obviously only took 48 days to work out. I think I have that right - does that seem credible to you and that is what you want to assert with me as a loyal member of your community, supporter of DayZ and Bohemia - that is what you require me to believe? 'Can I ask you if you are familiar with this line - 'Sometimes Winston, 2+2 does equal 5'? Thanks for your integrity - I feel reassured.

Ha ha - it was also listed as a known issue after the previous hotfix - listed twice in a row - so when was it exactly that you realised that it wasn't an issue at all but was an intended feature? Come on - play a straight bat as what you have said makes you look foolish and devoid of integrity.

Ludicrous - there is even a white highlight to indicate the slot the item in your hand will return to - guess that needs to be removed then so players know that you have added this game enhancing mechanic.

So if this is an intended feature 1909, why is it now listed in the patch notes under 'Known Issues'? Seems odd that something that is intended is also considered a known issue.
