The Weapon Cleaning Kit SHOULD take up a fairly large amount of space. It is one of the most valuable/useful items that you can find. The ability to repair a weapon is HUGE. I like the smaller inventory. It forces you to be very careful about inventory management. And it makes things a bit more realistic. Prior to the change you could carry far too much stuff in your "pockets". Now you have to make important decisions about what to pick up and what to leave behind. It is a post-apocalyptic survival game, after all. Not a Battle Royale or something. All of Bohemia Interactive's best known titles are Mil Sim type games that focus on punishing levels of realism and depth of mechanics. And that's what I love about them. Community servers that want to enable larger inventory sizes will be able to. And your comment about there only being mods that increase inventory, but not mods that decrease it, is false. There are many mods and server settings that allow a more hardcore survival experience. Such as very limited inventory. And just because one crowd whines more, and is more vocal than another, does not mean anything, other than there are a lot of kids that want things to be more easy. But that doesn't align with DayZ's theme or philosophy. Millions of people stuff their faces with McDonald's cheeseburgers while swigging soda and smoking cigarettes every day. That doesn't mean that McDonald's is the best food. It just means that there are a lot of lazy people that would rather stuff garbage down their throats than take the time to cook themselves a delicious,healthy, home-cooked meal. This analogy works for what DayZ is. DayZ's core philosophy is that delicious,skillfully prepared, home-cooked meal. But there are people that just want to run around and loot without a thought and blast away at each other, while ignoring all of the survival elements and inventory management. I can't help but think they got lost on their way to Rust, or something. I love that Bohemia has kept DayZ true to its roots and haven't turned it into some ridiculous nonsense mess. Like Rust.
