==Daily Item Cap==
 
Hi guys. I was discussing things with [[User:ShunyValdez|ShunyValdez]], and there seems to be a daily cap on the number of items you can get aside from the weekly cap of hours in which you can get items. Essentially, if you idle for a single day and use up all your "alloted weekly cap of hours", you might not be able to get any more items for the rest of the week.

I noticed that the article reads ''"The system resets each player's playtime cap every Thursday at approximately 00:00 {{W|Greenwich Mean Time}} (GMT)"''.  I was questioning where this fact came from.  My best guess is that the time zone is actually [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coordinated_Universal_Time UTC].  The main difference is that GMT has daylight savings where as UTC doesn't.  The only time I have seen UTC used is by people who live in england.

I haven't checked this as I would have to wait until the next daylight savings time and even then I wouldn't know how.

I am fairly certain though that it is UTC though and would like to propose this line instead.

Well, I don't fully understand the overlapping items but I assume it means that it shows 1 item dropped twice, but all the weapon drops are unique (Different items, not unique quality) and two #54's, 53's and 52's dropped twice, so those might overlap (If that's what it means). I usually try to idle all I can on all the accounts with use of SandBoxie, so I might have missed a week on that account. I also don't trade items to my idles, just from.
