Many of us have seen how vanish works in ninja movies. So I will agree with Phaitus's point of view and suggestions because there's a big difference between unrealistic and 'How the heck did he do that?'.

I guess the real question is 'Would it be too much work, in term of programming, to make vanish more realistic?'
I surely cannot answer this and I cannot consider it as a bad reason for Imms to leave vanish as it is : we, players, should never forget they are doing the job of keeping this game up for free...
