The ones responsible for judging, locking, unlocking, or move parts of the thread to off-topic is the GM Team.
So the first and foremost point of my opinion is...:

You might want to get rid of that shady chinese antivirus (360 Total Security) and let Microsoft's built-in (and also free) Windows Defender antivirus handle things. It has much better protection and you're not sending your data (and granting full administrative permissions) to a random chinese company (although sending your data to Microsoft isn't that much better but this can at least be disabled)
That aside, my two cents are:
1. If you don't want to accidentally drop items, protect them in the client;
2. If you are trying to give items to someone else, trade them.
This being said, I myself, more than once, dropped items without realizing.
It happens quite frequently.
It is not difficult to see that legendario is being sarcastic and actually want the Bull Helmet back,
and it is also very evident that the community assumes that the "right thing" to do is returning the item to legendario.
Even I already looted a few items and returned them after realizing they were dropped in err.
This being said, from a Developer stand-point of view, I don't see any illegality in this ordeal.
If the item was on ground, you're allowed to pick it up. When you're not allowed to, the server
protects the item (also known as Kill-Steal Protection, iirc). The case where MVP can loot items
during the first 10 seconds or so.
*cough cough*
This discussion, however, is offtopic.
There was no request to GM Team intervene in that.
This thread was made so GMs could judge the following questions:
Did matto abuse DeaDZONE?
Did Ledmitz abuse DeaDZONE?
Did PiNG1 abuse DeaDZONE?
Did Anti-Proton abuse pretty much everyone else?
More specifically:
Other than that.
The Mana World Team do not keep chat logs.
I also don't think Prsm was around by the way he responded to this.
I also don't recall the four players involved (matto, Ledz, Pingo and Proton) insulting anyone in the time I passed in game,
and personally I don't think there was anything serious in terms of insults to justify going after witness and etc.
Therefore, it is highly likely that this get archived.
But this is still up to the GM Team.
To be honest, I haven't chatted with people for a while now, been too absorbed in my piece of code disconnected from reality, so I want to chat about whatever... If my opinions are somehow offensive I apologize in advance and offer to withdraw them. (respected the edit time limit)
