Stop dropping
Drop game, sounded like a new feature in the game. It’s not. Originated from the west, drop game is a dirty trick that scammers crafted. They dare naïve players drop their items then confiscate the drop through the use of vacuum hack, speed teleport with auto pick-up or a normal walk-over pick. Cry or plead the victim may, these scammers are not one that are soft-hearted. If they do, it would not have begin.
The games are sometime hosted by group. They start by daring each other to play the game by dropping (looking if they were stranger to each other). When innocent player join in, they start dropping better items and waited patiently. When the player drop a rare, they execute the hack. The whole gang usually disconnect or channel hop.
When the gang decide to setup a second trap on the same victim, this adds to the bursting of burning point. They acted concern and blame the scammer who took the item and demand return. The scammer (the one who picked earlier) than request the victim to drop another item to show his/her "trust" or "sincerity" for wanting back the item. Whatever reason it could be, the gang persuaded the victim, acted to be the victim's witness. By dropping the second item, the victim fall into the second trap.
It might not occur as a drop game. The same plot might present itself much simpler. In the presence of a high-level, the scammer drops a rare. Thinking that the player is “celebrating the newly gain item from monster drop” or "showing-off", the high-level drop a rare item to show that he/she had one too. Hack will then execute. The scammer simply leverages on the victim "Self-Motivated" behaviour. The psychological effect of "if you can, I can too".
Game moderator and Administrator remove all items found in the account of the scammers. On the contrary, it is not possible to remove such scammers. Players beware.

Drop game is a way of scamming.. They always promise that they will return u if picked by another party. They usually use hack to pick up the items. Really scary..Last of all dun trust a stranger.

I used to play Runescape, a Java-based MMORPG, and there used to be drop parties. These drop parties are excueted by players who find that they have too much stuff on them but are too lazy to sell them, so they go to a crowded area and scream drop party. Usually a large group would follow the dropper, especially if the dropper announced that expensive items would be dropped too.
However, I've seen droppers lure people who want drops into the wilderness, whereupon they'll kill them and take all the items they drop after their deaths. Goes to show how strangers should not be easily trusted.
