Is there a way to have the Valley Bandits and Saldaean Cavalry mobs EQ disappear once a trolloc has dismembered the corpses?

Otherwise after 1 run the bandit valley area looks like this :

* R HP:Scratched DP:Bursting MV:Fresh > Road in the Hills
A faint road appears out of the grass, and begins it's way west. A small
clump of trees off to one side provides some shade during the warmer months,
and looks to provide refuge to some small animals. A small depression in
the hills is off to the east, and your vision of the south is blocked by a
dense thicket of unusually tall scrubs.

Can we have items that lay on the ground just crumble to dust after say 30 tics? This item will self-destruct in 30.... 29....
Need to make some exception for quest or crafting items that load with a purpose and is probably coding - but sounds like a long-term solution.

This is already on my project backlog.

My view is asking players to clean up mob eq or otherwise not load it or load special mob eq are not very good solutions. What we'll do instead is when players drop eq on the ground or hide it, after some set period of time (maybe an hour, maybe two -- long enough that they weren't coming back for it later) we'll wipe the eq.

There's bunches of rooms that purge ground items on repops.

Non significant rooms like these unlikely to have pvp deaths wouldn't be an issue unless it executing the purging would have worse lag issues than items accumulating.

Only issue with that is purging corpses(which in general only matters in smob or pvp), doubt can flag them like a barrel and still have them decay.
