To all those, who don't like having to pick up disappearing loot: You're picking up dropped belongings from the ground while being under constant fire. In my opinion, the game would be boring without this.
Although it might have been tweeked by now, because my character barely moved if i did a quick scoop around the screen.
As for the underpaid script writer: I think it's a joke fit for such a casual game. (If it's for true, than he must be the one reading these too, so hang in there pal, the Freedom from Incompetent Superiors Liberation Front will bring you justice in 3 to 5 years.)
