This often resulted in a /petition, and a customer service request. Which used time and resources. Often items were not given back, but sometimes they were. Especially if they were rare epic related items.

You can pretend you did this, by randomly destroying an item in your inventory once a week. If you really need to get that part of the "classic" feel again.

I'm aware that this behavior has a significant customer service cost. I'm only filing it as a potential issue, because it's not classic.

Equipping NPCs with weapons and cosmetic armor used to be very common, so as a feature, it has some value. Whether it warrants attention is not my call to make.
