    Every item is set for the armor style they belong to. Even then, some items (like shoulders) can be a little floaty. Armor isn't set on the body either, It's like attached to the skin or something.

    Apparently it was good enough for them to just hover a shield close enough to the arm instead of attaching it so you kinda have to deal with it.

    It's so that your hand and hand armour doesn't clip through some of the more flat shields.

    It's not a bug, it's sloppy design. The reason is that some other shields are modelled differently and sits closer to the hand, so in those the hand would protrude through the shields which would be worse. Of course this could all be fixed by adjusting the shield position for just these shield types that you posted picture of. But that would require extra work from devs, which is why I said it is sloppy design. They probably have higher priorities, like creating new limited sale house and mount items....

    Weight slider means you can have different sizes of bodies, so to avoid clipping they float a bit instead.

    That said...

    How do you have only 10 ping? I have ~110 at all times, live in Midwest.

    Look at most armor & accessories. They are not connected directly to your character. They "float" near your body unless it is a worn item. It has been this way from the beginning.

    has to do with the intense gravity field that very powerful warriors create around them - have you ever seen dragon balls?

    Some of us get less than 10 ping, I remember a time when I used to have a cruddy internet provider but switched to another one instead.

    I doubt your ping really is 10. Zooming in it looks like you wanted to make it look better than it is.

    Ya you can definitely see a box and the sides of another number.

    Tbf, that axe should be slipping through his hand too. Almost every single item in the game has some sort of issue when it comes to this. From armour or weapons clipping, to huge spaces between the item and the toon's body.

    This and on more bulky armor, most shield users wear heavy armor.
    They should have an simple grip so it did not look so stupid.
    Grinding just make you go in circles.
    Asking ZoS for nerfs is as stupid as asking for close air support from the death star.

    of all the issues the game has this certainly needs to be TOP priority!

    This. And there are similar issues with some of the other equipment types once you start mixing up character models and crafting styles. [E.g. using Mazzatun can turn most of your belt invisible - save for the buckle.]

    And while this shouldn't necessarily be "top priority" - given how many other things ought to be fixed or reworked in the game - many of these "other things" aren't being worked on either, one, and two, having certain very visible character costume errors persist for years is just a bad, bad sign of how the development team is managed...
