Low Priority.


While Hiding/Moving-Silently, a PC that picks up an item from the floor will reveal not only his presence but his name to all who is nearby, even if they could not detect him.

It might help stealthed PCs if that is changed.

As an example, even if my PC Andy Anderson cannot detect PC Bob Billyworth (who is stealthed), if Billy Billyworth picks up something near my PC, this yellow message will appear in my combat log:

'You see Billy Billyworth acquire a thin object.'

There's already a crafting menu option to attempt to surreptitiously take items without notifying other players.

If anyone's sneaking around, they should use this.

If the said system uses pickpocket I think the suggestion should be to use HIDE while doing this with items that are outside of a container. Items in a container / chest I think should be kept as pickpocket.
