I’m assuming you’re referring to character inventory here - I’m not sure what you mean by “EQ”, other than Earthquake, but that doesn’t make sense =p I suppose this would be possible with enough demand, it’s not something we intentionally don’t support.
Yes, this is intentional. You can be in a situation where your inventory is full, in which case if you were to close the forge, the item would have nowhere to go, and would drop to the ground, which if you don’t notice is far worse. So instead of having different scenarios of where the item can wind up based on if your inventory is full or not, we went with consistency: Your item is where you put it. We also looked into doing a “ghost” version of the item in the forge (not actually moving the item itself), however this caused other issues because of how crafting an item directly changes the item.
