Paralyzed while using -ANY- Items and losing them...Who else has gotten the shaft?

[bramble]

It's illogical captain! I don't think items should vanish whilst paralyzed either. And to the people who are arguing it is realistic to think that the items are being 'dropped' and thus 'broken', causing them to vanish - as someone said before - paralysis is usually where the muscles contract and spasm and cause your grip to tighten on whatever you happened to be holding at the time. This means the item would still be in your grasp during the paralysis - therefore making it illogical that the item should dissapear.

My point is that using the logic of the physical world to argue the logic of the virtual world is illogical. Simply state that you don't think that you should lose items that are not used. No logic involved. Simply asking the Dev's to change something.

Unless you were just pulling it out of your bag, and didn't have it properly grasped.

But the base of your argument started with you trying to simulate reality by saying, if you get paralyzed you drop the item.

No, i was offering a valid explanation for why it might happen.
