griefing by disconnection

i post it here because i sort of think it's not really intentional, it's a heavy exploit

since a player can disconnect at any time & just disappear, so i've seen users fully clothed, with a backpack filled with precious goods & a cart in hand packed to the brim just disappear with all of that stuff
it's a clever & quite an effective form of griefing, the smaller the settlement or the more struggling the more devastating is such stealing of stuff

i hope something can be done, like eg that the player disappears but all of the stuff stays put, as if they would die

Re: griefing by disconnection

This is some other kind of bug or lag, not disconnection.

When someone disconnects, the server kills them and they die.  A grave is created, they drop what they are holding, etc.

I test death all the time on my end by quitting one of my test clients.

Re: griefing by disconnection

ok

i see it only from the perspective of a player in that situation, so this was just my guess

but it still is an issue

i see players just disappear, gone without trace
doesn't happen often but it was already several times
& one time one guy took all the goods with him, looked like intentional
