Have a little backbone, grit your teeth and fight on even ground.
That being said, I don't agree with outright banning them from the events. I know it sounds a bit contradictary but this is how I feel.
If you would like to use them in a fight, all the power to you. You can go brag to your friends that you won an amulet for a week by spending nth thousand gold.

anyways they ruin events.. events were made to be won with hardwork and skill not who has nightshades or w/e or who has more of them then the other person... they ruin the whole idea of the events that were made.. its pointless now..

take special pots out of events, and its not that i cant find them or buy them, its the fact that they ruin events, ever try beating a mage with a vamp pot? and then a nightshade on top of that? mages are hard enough to beat 1 on 1 as it is, with those pots the only thing that can stop them is a zerk if it gets a lucky smite.
take out special pots and it makes it fair to everyone, some people fail to remember triplex is 25+, not anyone who's 25+ can afford to buy nightshades from the shop, hell i refuse to buy them because for 15k, i can just buy mana and use my cleric and be happy with it.
Flame on, i know its comming.

And thats an easy/guaranteed win. It happened with alts when people couldn't win using 1 crit anymore, and now because everyone uses alts they look for another method of acheiving their ultimate goal, which is to remove a character portrait from their target screen as quickly and effortlessly as possible!
Extremely sad, considering this is supposed to be a game. Personally I find the 'quick fix' users quite amusing, as it simply shows how seriously they take this game.

However, that should mean all potions that cannot be bought in the shop for the event should be banned from the event.

Umm... This is a poll. Expect mixed opinions.I had talked to Oracle and we both decided to settle the argument over this a poll to get the nightmist's communtities opinions had to be made. If you don't like it don't read it no problem, but don't sit here and be morons with 0 iq's like rob about it his post will be gone anyways.

I've never really been sure on this and never really been bothered either way when people have discussed it with me. I vote to have them removed because I agree with the statements to this opinion more than the opposing. To me it would just feel more appropriate to not have 'special pots' involved. I'm happy to enforce the use of pots that can be bought in the triplex area only, assuming that remains the overall opinion of the players.

I agree as long as everyone has access to them...they should not be banned from events.They shouldn't be banned. Everyone ingame has access to them.

i like this idea, start events with players having empty inventory if the item can't be bought in the arena shop then it shouldn't be used in the event

The arguements that're being brought up for both sides are all valid, and all affect things in more than just one way, it shouldn't only affect whether 'special' pots are allowed, as very similar arguements can and will be used for 'special' weapons, and as just stated recently, special abilities.
To be fair, I'm not sure how you can allow one and not the other. Simply because a weapon costs a lot of gold, doesn't mean it should be excluded, players worked towards that. Same goes for some potions, players have to work to get the advanatge of that potion, so why exclude their efforts?
Which brings us onto character abilities. It's like having a cage fight, but telling one guy he can't use any throwing moves, as the other fighter doesn't know them?! In the same sense, everyone should be allowed to use what they have available to them. I can already hear the screams from almost every other class bar Mages, as their Invisibility is obviously a huge advantage. But it's easy to get around. Also shows the unbalance of the classes in these situations. Think a mage is willing to not use one more Beam, in favour of hiding?
I can only see there being two available, fair options. Allow everything, or allow nothing. Allowing everything will leave the newer players struggling. Allowing nothing will upset that fragile emotional tie some players have with winning everything.

Don't you need 'raw skills' to work for the money to buy these pots? I've read most posts and I still say don't remove them.The events should be based on the raw skills and finesse of the player and his characters. I vote remove them from competition.
