Get Double of Your Default Items

I discovered this trick to getting double, triple, or even quadruple of default items. I don't how many players have already discovered this or even if this trick will still exist after the reset.

If you've died and are back to your default items, go out into the PVP zone outside of the town you're in and kill yourself (/kill). After you've respawned, Hurry back to the place you died and collect your items. You now have double of what you originally spawned with. You can even collect your own head!

You can do this as many times to your heart's content, or until you run out of inventory space.
There is a risk in doing this. Someone else might get to your body before you and collect your items.

 

If this really is a bug, I don't know how you guys would plan on fixing it. You would have to prevent players from getting their items back, which would be quite unfair.
