the pickups are fine imo, and i believe a dev said that in the next major update (2.91 maybe?) will be a /duel command or something like that.
The pickups can stay imo, because the people fighting near to them are usually just players who try to get some easy kills to boost their ratio, for example at the sexshop.
and for "serious" fights (for which a laggy server like LVP isnt the best choice) there is the FC, and soon probably a duel command.
edit: tbh i gotta admit i didnt read more then the first few sentences - after reading it all, the option that pickups respawn right after your own death and are available seems fine for me.
