To all the stupid motherfuckers in here who can't seem to comprehend change....
ONLY WEAPONS' QUALITY CAN BE DETECTED BEFORE PICKUP. ALL OTHER ITEMS APPEAR AS LOW QUALITY NORMAL. SAME AS +1'S.
If you can't understand that, go fuck yourself.
@ the previous poster: Unfortunately, it isn't a code issue, it's the packet sent, doesn't contain quality information while the item is on the ground, thus the game assigns it quality of "Low quality normal". This won't change unless TQ (for reasons I can't comprehend, seeing as they changed this system to prevent this sort of detection) would change the system back to the way it was before.
As for why he keeps posting it? He likes to see the quality on his weapons before he picks em up. ^^
