If you intend on leaving a group at the next elevator without letting your group know, PLEASE do the right thing and drop your vitapod and any pickups you might have had before getting on that elevator. When you get on an elevator and leave the group without warning, all of your stuff gets dropped before the elevator descends, being left to rot. That poison vial or health pill that you didn't bother to drop could've been highly useful to another member of your group, and not dropping it before leaving robs the group of highly needed resources.

It'd be better to just announce that you're going to leave so the group knows, but if not, at least drop your items so that the group can make use of them and they don't go to waste.
