Well, not a bad idea, but it has its problems.
Lets say I'm wielding two dragoon dirks and I switch to my drum - poof I
lose 1 dirk.
Second, this now gives me the ability to carry 4 dragoon dirks; one in each
hand, one in ranged weapon slot and one in my inventory. This is the kind
of thing that they were trying to prevent I think.

i didn't say anything when i first saw this, but i think it is a brilliant
idea. taking the lore tag off when an item is equipped lets you have
another for sale, and avoids the "poof" problem if you get another and
happen to be wearing what you loot. great idea.
