Player dropped items should not affect spawned loot. Dupers are leaving loot all over the ground making it impossible to find loot normally. Even if a normal player decides that they don't want anyone to find tier 4 loot they can just drop it on the ground. Just like the landmines you expect players to go and seek out the base that a player has built just to be able to disarm the landmines and have them spawn? You want us to go find where another player has dropped the gear that could be in any bush on the entire map?
